I've been bit by a large Clown Trigger while cleaning. He took a little chunk out of my pinky. Not fun. I kept Mr. Net with me when I cleaned the tank after that. One look and he would hide under a rock.
A Solomon Island Yellow Crater Zoo toxed me when I first got it. A few fingers went a little numb.

When I put my hands in the water they start to burn and sting, (I'm very sensitive) I try to stay away from my zoos and sponge otherwise I will feel like I'm on fire. I thought this site might help some people. They list some natural remedies. http://www.aloha.com/~lifeguards/alsting1.html http://www.undercurrent.org/UCnow/ar...es200309.shtml

I got stung by live rock too! It was a ton of little white/clear spikey things nestled all nicely into the pointer and thumb on my right hand...what the heck IS THAT? Felt like a thousand shards of glass in my fingers. Also, I got stung by a patch of Fire Coral while diving before...NOT FUN! Not fun at all....
