do bubble tip anemones sting?
I just got a bubble tip anemone and am wondering if they sting. I forgot to ask the LFS before I left. i could just see for myself but want to avoid a possible pain.

good chances you are fine. however if your really worried. keep your hands outta the tank if you have small cuts on your fingers.
you may notice some rash like stuff on your inner arms after dipping your hands in your tank.. but chances are youll be fine and never notice it |

No big deal thou. |

Mine have left very slight rashes on my inner forearm before. Their nematosites can actually penetrate thin skin parts of your arm. They cannot penetrate thicker skin though.
