Zoanthid Spider Bite!!!!!

[HookedOnCoral]

I got bit by one of these things on my finger. Am I in danger? Are they posionous? I got bit about 4 hours ago and it hurt a bit, but i am not in any pain right now. It looks a bit swelled up and red but nothing major.

Please let me know any information you guys can.

Dont have the slightest clue... so... tell us!

Are you still alive?

guess not.

They are Pycnogonids, aka Sea Spiders. Most eat various cnidarians, however, I've never heard of them being venomous (poisonous has to do with eating things ).

Bill thanks for the info . Got a quick question if you have a moment. I have a fairly nice micromussa and it has grown nicely . It has a lot of polyps with a bunch of baby ones . I'd like to frag it but it cost alot and it would suck if it bit it . Any ideas or tricks before i get out the dremel . thanks Ken
