Firefish stung by BTA

[Righteous]

I got just got a new Firefish and added him to the tank yesterday. He was doing great, and found himself a good hiding spot in the rocks, and came out actively feeding.

This morning he came out at feeding time again and I saw him brush up against my BTA. It clearly stung him as he reacted and flew back into his hiding spot. For a minute or so, he looked like he was breathing pretty heavily, but seems okay now (though still hiding).

Should I be worried that he was injured in the encounter. Anything I should watch for? My only other fish is a clown so I've never had to worry before.

If he was stung by the anemone and is still swimming, you have nothing to worry about. If it was a carpet anemone you wouldn't of been so lucky
