Cure for anemone Sting

[BCOrchidGuy]

Okay tank water may be full of nasties, but as a diving instructor and a hyperbaric first aid instructor specializing in diving related injuries I can assure you that the best way to get the nasties off is to wash the area thouroughly with water from where the sting occured. Reason being, the nematocysts (spelling) can sting more than once. The fire at changes in temperature, water salinity and pH.

Sorry to hear you got a boo boo... I've been lucky so far, mind you I only have two small anemones and they like the sand so I don't have to brush up against them. That being said, King Ed pets had the biggest anemones I have ever seen in a couple weeks ago and if anyone wanted to get anything out of the tanks they were in they got stung.... Glad I don't catch fish for a living.
