I have these tiny anemones called Thalassianthus Aster on some rock. One detached during a tank redo and got stuck to my pinky. I didn't feel anything and put it back onto the rock to attach. Normally they don't move but there was a lot going on with moving rock and such in the tank.
About an hour later after I removed my hands from the tank my pinky finger where it was stuck starts to burn. Then it itches. I wash with soap and do a long rinse with hot water. It still hurts and itches and then the finger becomes very warm to the touch. I put on cortizone cream and a bandaid and it feels a bit better. I just removed the bandaid and it's swollen with a hard lump and very warm to the touch. I am wondering if I should be concerned. I am not in terrible pain and the pain hasn't spread beyond the area where it stung me.
Anyway here's a link to a thread I started regarding the anemone with pics:

Is there anything else I should do to treat the area where I was stung? Thanks.
