in order to feel the sting of most corals and some nems you need to have sensitive skinn or they just feel slimy and has no affect
I have felt a slight sting from my bta but I also had some battered and beaten nuckles at the time | |

I was stung by my frogspawn. I put pressure on the middle soft head part and learned not to do that anymore. Felt like a ant bite. | |

I strongly suggest you donot tell a friend / any one to touch something in your tank !
Some people can have a severe alergic reaction to these toxins emitted .
By the post ' i can see that the "simple" forms of oceanic life chose the right course
of evolving.
Fish/corals and the like have been here millions of years and and were here first ,
they've spent millions of years developing toxins/teeth/fins to defend their selves.
and yes i have been stung by bristleworms , thank god thats all.
I have a friend that did have the liking for lion fish and and he was accidently stung by one of the quills on the fish' from cleaning his tank.
needless to say ' he couldint use hand for like a week.
Further more my wife is about alergic to every thing' bee's, polins,and im sure a "joke" played on her by saying here touch this zoa' and lick your fingers, or here let the Sea-bee , touch your fingers.. (wrong)....
would not be funny at all.
I disagree' with a "notion/thought" of playing a joke on some one like that, that you suggested _________ Wildreefs 220 Tank Journal
