Never been touched by anything in the ocean but when snorkeling in Hawaii, I nearly stepped on a moray eel. It was ina big rock I was gonna step on to adjust my mask. I imagine if I had not looked down first it would have been ugly.

I have been stung by my rbta(cuts on hand prolly why), bitten at times by most fish as I feed from my hand occasionally, and I had a green spotted puffer for a while and it would nip the crap out of my pinky when I was cleaning the tank.

I was diving in the Bahamas and got attacked by a remora! Sounds kinda crazy huh? I guess he thought i was a shark or something. I was almost done with my ascent to the surface when he swam up at me from below. He was coming fast! He got a few feet away and I snapped a photo of him with my camera, I guess the flash scared him off. Luckily he didn't get to give me any hickeys!

The worst attack I ever got in my tank was when somehow I got shocked by electricity?? I was cleaning and got a pretty good jolt through my arm. Anyone ever have that happen?

My silly clowns bite me all the time ! They think i have food in my hands every time I put them in tank. ( i hand feed them lol) My first pair used to bite out of territorial behavior these would actually surprise me so i would always fling water every where !

I used to think it was pretty neat that my 8" blue puffer liked to be hand fed until he mistook my finger for a piece of krill (ouch!!!). Never tried that again.

I moved 5 small carpet anemones last week. I've done this before, but these were real fire bearers. My hand was covered in white spots and went numb for about 4 hours.

Did you guys seek medical attention after getting stung by a lion or let the poison wear off?
