OUCH!!!! What happen PLZ look!

its beneath the skin. looks like i got stung my a jelly fish. the arm feel a little diffrent ,but it might be my imaginasion? If i get a fever should i got the hospital (emergancy room)?
 
Corals do have the same stinging cells, nematocysts, as jelly fish do. Some people are sensitive to them. I, myself, am one of those people. It appears as though you are, too. I would wash it well, and keep an eye on it. Wear gloves in the future and avoid allowing your corals to touch your bare skin.

For reference, here is my hand after my Hammer got a hold of me. Hurts like the dickens.

You may end up with lumps like below for several weeks afterwards. Unless the redness spreads after the first day, I wouldn't worry about it.

If I had a chance of my thumb exploding I'd Save that other thread on my iPad and take my iPad to the ER and ask if I'm going to have this happen to me. If I were you I would call a doctor or go to the hospital.
 
Okay , the thing is i didnt touch a the coral. when i took my hand out of the tank i showed up a minute after. If the line/scratch thing gets bigger should i be worried?
 
It's possible that one of your corals had a large sweeper tentacle out that you didn't see, and it hit you. I've had sweepers off my trumpet that were 5-6" long. Don't waste hospital resources unless it's a true emergency. If it's not gone or lessened by tomorrow, then go see your doctor.
 
go to the emergency room if:

1) you start getting short of breath, or you start breathing faster and shallower, or you feel like you cant get air and your heart beats faster and u can feel it pounding in your chest.
2) your lips/face start to swell
3) get a fever
4) arm gets worse, bleeds, turns different colors, gets black, blue etc
5) u start losing the feeling in your finger tips, get numb, or start feeling pins and needles on your fingers
 
Do you have someone with you for tonight? If there is someone who can make sure you get to the ER at 4 am, i'd wait it out until tomorrow...if you don't have anyone to check ion you or get you there if you can't do it yourself, i might look for an urgent care or other ER alternative..
