Hope it clears up soon Greg.

Take some Reactine.

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!

I've been covering the rash with both a cortisone cream that I have for my cracked hands, and with after bite (the stuff for bee stings/mosquito bites) It's getting a bit better, not as red but it is really bumpy. I'll have to get some reactine or something a little less drowsy tomorrow from the pharmacy.

try some antibacterial hand lotion.
Seems to help me as I frequently get this from my frogs...

It's getting a littler bit better with the cream and the antihystamines. The bumps are not as bad but it is still very red.

Still itchy as all hell though.

That after bite stuff is a god sent, I fell on a Bee Hive once and was stung like 18 times. Its like a concentrated topical morphine stick, the pain just vanishes! Good luck with the rash, at least it wasn't something more serious!
