What a dumb a**, finally happened after all these years. I got stuck by my zebra lionfish. My lions are very friendly, I've even hand fed them. I have to shoo they away all the time I'm doing maintenance. They've brush my arm time and time again, swimming by. The antenatta is constantly swimming by, the volitan almost as bad, always needing to park by whatever I'm doing. This was just a bone head move, I went in with a pair of tongs to grab a piece of debris at the mouth of one of the caves. Jammed my middle finger and index finger right into the zebra, perching just above the opening of the cave.
Felt like a sharp jab, like anything sharp going into your flesh. I quickly ran to the sink and ran and soaked in the hottest water I could stand. The throbbing came a minute later, reminiscent of slamming your fingers in a car door. Then a tightening and possibly the burning from the hot water. A couple of hours later there's a raw tingly sore feeling. Not near as bad as I had feared.
