I think you're pretty safe it you stay away from any sort of blowfish. Of course, blue ring octopus are to be avoided, but I doubt that anyone would try to spear one, they're too small. Up this way, we are careful with bottom-dwelling rockfish. The one we call "sculpin" have really sharp pectoral fins and gill covers and their slime definitely to be avoided. Paleagics seem to be universally safe.
