Reefer Ratings: (8) Friends: (0) | OUCH!!!for my Triggerㅠ.ㅠ
Hi guys, My Blue throat trigger gets excited when he sees me, Seeing me = food!!!! I happened to have my camera ready b/c I just took some pics of my moorish idol... Anyways, my trigger swam right into my GBT anemone and got stung!!!  This anemone is nasty!!! I've been stung myself...So far my trigger is showing symptoms of blochy coloration in his dorsal fin, where it got stung, and just threw up all the food it ate... what do you guys think? its gonna make it??? Ma trigger is unhappy right now ㅠ.ㅠ;; back to its hole... |

your arm looks like an allergic reaction towards synthetic saltwater. Are you sure this was cause by the stun? I seem to get red spots just like yours just being in the tank.

I also was looking at the dorsal fin but I didn't see anything wrong with it. He probably meant the caudal fin!!!!

Guys the dorsal is torn. And between the tail on the scales of the fish it is discolored. Looks like a nice sting but I think he will make it, triggers are built like saltwater pitbulls. |

No dude I am right that I seriously need glasses cause it took me this long to see the nick in the dorsal fin. But I don't think it came from the anemone, Again it might be the 29 hours I have been awake or that I am going blind.
