Cabezon, a type of fish found along the Pacific coast, possess poisonous spines located in their dorsal fin. These spines serve as a defense mechanism against potential predators, deterring them from attacking. When threatened, cabezon can raise these spines defensively, warning off larger fish and other threats. Their venomous nature adds an extra layer of protection, making them less palatable to predators.

No. The "thorns" of a thorny devil, though very sharp, are neither poisonous nor venomous.

Cabezon eats abalone
when cabezon are small, they have all kind of predators, I have found some in tide pools, when they grew older, they have a solidatory lifestyle that is mostly benthic and since they are camouflaged very well, have poisonous spine, and a heavy build, their become more and more difficult for predators as they mature.
Technically, yes, those spines are poisonous. However, that is to protect them from other fish and it's not likely to be any danger to you.
