LMAO you guys are funny. My hand seems to be better I guess, still has the little dots on it which makes it look diseased lol

Unfortunately I haven't seen the litttle guy today I hope he didn't swim into any of the other anemones or the same one and got eaten, I don't see a body

Meat tenderizer will work on all kinds of marine stings it also works great jelly fish stings also......

Besides being a meat tenderizer, bromelain is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent, blocking metabolites that cause swelling. It has been used effectively to treat sports injuries and swelling caused by arthritis.

That sucks.

Did it go into your nail or through?

I hope your fish is just hiding while he heals..

Any word on the little guy?

wow - I'm so sorry you got stung like that! I HATE getting stung by my corals. You are quite the caring guy to rescue your fish like that.... i'd have probably watched helpless and feeling terrible, since I've already been stung so many times... I am so allergic that I'm in pain for weeks after I get stung. That kind of sting would probably have landed me in the hospital...

Any sight of the clown?

Tahl, I'm not usually sensitive at all to my corals, I touch them once in a while when I put my hands in the tank and nothing ever happens. I've touched my condy before and supposedly that has a pretty powerful sting and nothing, it's just been really sticky and it has left its tentacles on me before but I had no pain. This sting from my Saddleback was like no other but I'm much better now although my hand is a little red and my skin feels kinda tight.

Keith, it didn't go into or through my nail, it just stung the crap outta my hand and I guess it wore away the part of the fingernail that were actually touching its tentacles since I had dots the size of the tentacles.

Unfortunately I still haven't seen the little guy since last night he weas trying to host my Gigas up until I went to sleep and I haven't seen him since. He was pretty badly hurt too although he was swimming very well It's also worst because I had gotten him with another clarkii and they seemed to be buddies and I wanted both of them to make it into my GBTA but only one did
