Most pain ever gotten from doing this hobby

[Bluez_01]

So just for fun, what has been the most painful experience you have gotten from doing this hobby, (Physically) not mentally... Hysterical

I managed many moons ago to squish by accident a Zoa on a rock while examining it, it accurately managed to steam a jet of juice directly in to my eye, it must of been a sniper in the Zoa army before it retired and ended up in my tank as it was a good 2 foot away at the time :-d

I guess it goes without saying, pain is probably an under estimate of the word for 3 days.... Hysterical

So what has been yours that you can recall?

Got zapped by a large bristle worm,that definitely hurt,wouldn't like it to happen every time I put my hand in the tank.spent ages pulling the hairs out with tweezers.

used to have a small tank on my desk at work with a couple of goldfish

had to move office and tripped over when carrying it - it was Friday 13th as well

fortunately the fish were in a bag

I was doing some tidying up in my tank some years ago and didn't notice my dwarf lion fish on the rock and got stung on my finger,was like being hit by a large hammer.

Bristle worm for me....in the tip of my finger and down my fingernail! Hurts like buggery was moving some rock on the sand bed didn't see the worm which was about 4-5 inches when stretched out. Picked what I could out with tweezers then put my hand in white vinegar as it's ment to dissolve them as the calcium based and we all know vinegar dissolves corraline so gave that ago I lasted about 5 seconds in the vinegar the stinging was unreal under the tap to remove vinegar then back to it with tweezers.

Knocking a piece of live rock on top off my glass heater whilst scaping, smashing the heater. Got a good buzz from that.
