Eeouch!!!

[smokinreefer]

DBA...glad to hear you are OK.
but the average reefer isnt exposed to the risk you were, an 18" carpet and lionfish!! those animals are known to be powerful stingers/poisonous.
i agree with you, anyone handling those types of animals should certainly where thick rubber gloves.

i however, have only had problems with bristleworms...and that was only a couple days ago!! i have an abundance of them in my system, and it seems like every rock has a big fat one living under it. i have been moving some things around in my display and my refugium and i got a whole bunch of bristles stuck in my hand...thank god for whoever invented the tweezer!!

now i know how my marron feels, though i am sure it hurts her more, as she always has them on her face!!!
