Ive been in the hobby quite a few years now. I saved this fish from a 10g tank but have no idea what type it was the previouse owner thought it was a type of grouper after searching the web all night with no luck hopefully someone can enlighten me on it.

its going into a 130g once done in the hospital/ acclimating side tank. Thanks I couldnt find any info on it now I can!
 
When threatened it secretes a "soapy" substance that is toxic. I have really only seen that occur when it is being netted or transported. But in one of those instances it wiped out half of the fish in a 500g system. Other than that, which doesn't happen that often, this is an incredibly hardy fish.
 
I had a six line soap fish that almost killed itself three times at the wholesaler when it was being bagged. I never had any problems with it after that though. Cool, hardy fish.
