Not really hurt in the tank, but, I went diving 14 days ago and a Portuguese Man o' War stung my left hand and it took several copious amounts of pills to let me sleep that night. It is finally healing with fresh pink skin  Portuguese Man o' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Got nailed by a fire worm about a year ago. Healed it with a topical solution of Hydrocortisone cream, and an oral solution of Jack Daniels and Coke. Was better in about a day. :-) | |

Glued the fingers together before also. The thing that made me bleed the most was when I was trying to put some tubing together that wasnt ment to ? lol tight fit I slipped and the nozzle part on the sump pump cut my wart off my middle finger blood everywhere I think thats the most I have ever bleed. I had to clean the tubing and the pump, then through the towel out. Bristle worm bit me before Wasnt as bad as I tought it was going to be but it still hurt....

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a territorial clown. Coral Reefer I feel you pain. I've had a few mishaps along the way, but my consistent problem is my small tomato clown. Anytime I reach in the tank he decides to protect his anemone, even if I'm on the other side of the tank. For a while my hand was riddled with small little bites that all got minorly infected by the saltwater. Luckily I don't get in there much anymore.
