Caring for these beautiful creatures

The Anemone Sting is no fun
I was stung the other day
by my Snakelock Anemone
and I have to tell you, it has not been a fun
experience.
I have hurt, then itched then the scabs started to
come off, more itching.
More salve for the itching applied and it continues
to itch.
These are the Anemones that I got to close to
while cleaning the back of the tank.
And here is the colony that I have that got me good.
I have become immune to the stings of BTA's and they
no longer bother me but these guys I am not.
As I try to avoid them as best I can.
Here is what they left on my under-arm.
Sorry about the blurryness of them. It is hard taking
pictures with your left hand and your not.
And also pushing the button on the camera.
But I think you get the idea as to just what these creatures
can and will do if you get to close.
I have been using Neosporin
for infection and to cut the itching down.
Next time I will be wearing my gloves when I do the back glass.
