You should PM sphelps and ask him about his rash. I know he's had his for quite a while and seen a doctor or two. It was from a Euphyllia sp. if I recall correctly.

I have a sebae anemone and I had a bad rash with welts similar to yours last almost a week before they were completely gone. My sebae is approx 18" so its sting packs a punch. On a brighter note... Whatever stung you must be healthy if it got you that good. lol

Oh I get that same looking rash from time to time when I just have my arms in the water. Never had it from anything touching me though. Just arms in the water. Its VERY itchy!!!

Usually goes away in a day for me.

Greg, this would be a good addition to the marine aquarium cautions sticky. Definitely looks like a euphilia sting. Keep an eye on it...everybody reacts a little differently.

About the only time I'll use gloves is when I'm around my Frogspawn. Find the disposables aren't to bulky and still give good feeling. They'll puncture but I'm more worried about sweepers. Bought them a while ago but then 100 for $12.

Good advice. My Euphyllias bother me more than any other corals as well, but even after playing in the Euphyllia forest for an hour I don't get a reaction like that. Eep!
