How dumb do I feel?
I have had a little bubble algae growth in my Biocube and decided to remove it manually today. I got so focussed on the task that I forgot 1 very important detail....where is the DWARF LION FISH.... Bet you can figure out the next part, YUP I now have 2 fingers on my right hand that feel like they are on fire....figured it would happen someday but Damn not much fun.

HEHE I type with 2 fingers at best. Well after about 15 minutes in hot water and a few hours the pain is gone, fingers are very stiff but it was an experience.
My last day before returning back to work ( I am a teacher) gives me a neat storey to tell

Back in the late 80s, I had a 13" Volitan lionfish that was used to being hand fed & it, one day when I was stupid & not paying attention, stuck two poison-filled dorsal spines into me. Got sooooo bad, I was yelling at my brother to cut off my right arm when the poison moved up towards my shoulder/chest. Luckily, PoisonControl told me to soak it under hot water (I used almost boiling water) to denature the poison/enzyme/proteins before they caused permanent damage to my internal organs. Ended up with nasty burns but nothing I couldn't live with.
Yeah, lionfish are beautiful but deadly. Luckily for you, it was JUST a dwarf   Anthony
