Well, my tang and my foxface do have issues. So far the foxface is winning the battle

i have seen wrasse's sit in the sand for a day or so once i first go them. he may have got into a fight with a fish and is just stressed.

i have been stung by my foxface once... it was extremely painful, my entire arm was in pain, the pain went away after about 3 hours.

I don't trust yellowtail damsel.. they're all psyco

that's what i thought at first too, but seriously, mine is very docile. Ive never seen her attack anything at all. but then, who knows, maybe she had a bad day and decided to take it out on the pretty red fish.

so its not as bad as a lion fish' sting?

I just bought a fox face, and hes spooked to hell right now. i may have to dig in the tank and re arange some rocks, but just curious as to how severe the sting would be....

it's like a really bad bee sting... Dont know how it would compare to a lion's though (although Id use the same description for both). Id say it's probably painful enough that rearranging rocks can probably wait until another day when the fish isnt spooked.
