Potential stings and poisons in our reef tanks!!

Be careful with your fish too! I have a friendly Foxface that swims around my arm when it is in the tank. If spooked, they will spike you. I wear big gloves any time I put my hands in the tank though.

I always gave my Foxface a lot of respect. One of our local reefers got stung by one and the pain was intense and not quick to go away.

LOL@Rob! Rabbitfish (as in Foxface) are in there too, as well as bristleworms, coral stings, etc.

Yeah I saw that. Very helpful as I have already been stuck by a bristleworm and it is only a matter of time before I get stung by a coral.

My hippo tang stuck me when I was feeding once. Felt like a hammer was hitting my finger for an hour. 6 months later it still is not right.
