Brave? or just stupid?

I vote for stupid. One thing that is odd though, why isn't it being stung? Interesting piece of reef fact; some nematocysts of Stichodactyla spp. anemones are capable of piercing a clam shell and are fired with a velocity of 40,000G! I think the most force a human can withstand is something along the lines of 11G.
