Yep, I got stung!!ouchhhhhhhhhhhhh

What do I do? Besides rinsing the arm.

Yes, I know my hands should not be in the tank. I took my tank apart yesterday, and I'm in the process of putting it back together.:headache:

Thank you Scott! Zany, thanks, but no thanks.LOL It doesn't sting that bad; Just don't want to end up with an infection, and I know call the doctor is useless. She has no idea what corals do, or can do.;)

In over 7yrs. this is the 1st. for me. And it was my large branching hammer that did it. Doesn't hurt anymore, I was just worried about getting an infection.:)

im an avid diver and fire coral really likes me. pee actually does work, its the uric acid in it that doea th ejob. but vinegar is an easier way to go. all that does is basically neutralizes the stinging cells. my hammer stings me all the time just feels like a pinch and nothing ever happens. i would imagine most people r that way unless u have some kind of crazy allergy which u probably dont bc u would have seen the reaction by now. anyway learn to love the pain...reminds u ur ALIVE!!
