Along with the lions, rabbits, stone, and soap fish people should also remember that the common coral catfish has a powerful sting.
Great info., sharks - thanks. We were just talking about these fish last night in chat.

Here's another link on them:

>Marine Catfishes of the Family Plotosidae<

If you are unfortunate enough to get stung, soaking the injured area in *hot* water (as hot as you can possibly stand) changes the structure of the venom, and reduces the pain. Same goes for the sting of a Lion fish.
