OUCH!!! Stupid

[reeffer1]

Well I can finally join the club of people stung by their lions!!! Stupid me for thinking that they could not sting through the glove! So now I am sitting here with a throbing burning finger thinking that was really dumb.

The moral of the story lions will sting though aqua gloves!!!
lesson learned:bum: :bum:

Are you talking about those coralife full length aqua gloves, the orange and purple ones? I have those and they're pretty thick gloves, I wouldn't think a lionfish could get thru those!

What kind of lion fish do you have? I only have a dwarf fuzzy, I don't think it could sting me thru the aqua gloves, maybe a big volitan could. I haven't paid much attention to where the lion fish is when wearing gloves, maybe I should now!

Yep the orange and blue coralife gloves. It is a 8" volitian, I'll try and post a pic latter. The finger is still kind of warm feeling but does not hurt any more. Yup that is one hell of a bee sting!!!

All too familiar
I have a dwarf in my 55 and I can't tell you how cautious I am of where he is at all times. Lesson learned people.

the guilty one

 

[JENnKerry]

Man that just looks like it would be painful. But they say that the dwarf's pack just as powerful a sting as the bigger ones. Hope everything works out ok.

one more pic

Beautiful fish though.

Oh great! Another little tidbit I just learned. I'm glad I read these forums! I need to be extra careful now. :eek1:

Pee on the sting site. It works. I know!!!

 

[lovelylinda]

He looks guilty- shifty eyes.

 

[stevebydac]

How did it happen? Your fault for brushing up against him? Or a deliberate attack by him? Details, please, details! :hammer:

 

[zaireguy]

ouch hope you fell better

 

[reeffer1]

It was my fault. I just felt indistructable with my big aquagloves on. I was cleaning the glass and he was in my way, so being the big shot with the gloves, I gave him a nudge. Big mistake he gave me a nudge right back!!

 

[VolitanLioness]

I have one that is always in the way when I am cleaning, I sometimes wear gloves, other times I just sit still until it moves....lol

I have not been stung while cleaning, I was stung during feeding time, I did not look, put some food in not realizing a lion was right there.

I almost did the same thing with a long spine urchin.I had my hand in the tank to remove a veggie clip;forgot all about the urchin and missed him by an inch or so.never been stung so I couldn't compare a lion sting to an urchin sting but I heard urchins pack a good punch as well.
