Bite from something in tank

[batmanrob]

moving my whole setup. Putting in the last piece of live rock. Feel this prick on my hand. Pull hand out. Small little prick, looks to be a short whitish hair. I pull it out.
Half an hour later still feel a lot of pain. Bruising about size of a half a dime. Finger is all swollen up. Burning pain.

So any idea what it could be?
The rock might of had a Bristol starfish under it. Hard to say now.

Other than that my tank has blue tang, yellow tang and lawnmower blenny.

Soak your finger in vinegar. It melts the slivers

I've not found bristleworms to hurt very much. I've had my fingers covered in the "hairs". They are irritating, but not more than any other little sliver. A Radiant Urchin though? That's a whole different ball game. That hurts like a mofo! Worse than Volitans Lionfish.
