Moved sebae....ouch...

EmilyB · #1 08-23-2003, 05:17 AM

I bought some new rock recently, one piece designated for the center of my 155g. I removed the enormous sebae and since it was attached to a small rock put it in the corner of the 120g, hoping it will stay there. We will see.

Anyway, the 155g looks awesome with it's new rockscaping. (pics later...

)

However, my arm was completely stung moving the anemone. I look like a junkie with 800 infected needle marks.....

And the anemone was so heavy, just me lifting it up with my hand to place it into the other tank, my finger went right thru the tissue. I was worried about a bacterial infection, but so far so good.

Glad you were able to sort that issue out. (You replaced it with a rock??) Looking forward to the pics.

Hi Deb,

I know how you feel! If it helps at all for the next time we invested in a pair of those long aquarium gloves, no problems since then! Last week though I caught my wife doing some work in the tank with saran wrap all around her arm...weird

Looking forward to the pics!

Deb, there is a product out for sunburns and insect bites that should help. We have used in our house for years.

Drum roll please:

Aloe Vera Anesthetic Gel from Friut of the Earth - you can get it at a major drug store.

The Gel in the bottle we currently have is (cool) blue in colour. The previous incarnation the gel was green.

As a diver i've been told that peeing is suppposed to work. Another thing, and something I would try first, is vinegar.
