Ever hurt your self from reefing?

I just sliced my finger open cutting some tubing with a razor blade was woundering what have you guys done to your self beacause of your tank? I have cut my self, glued my fingers together, burnt my self and I can not even count the number of times I have hit my hands and head on stuff.

I've been bitten by my clownfish. If I got near "his" territory, he'd attack my hand and pull on my arm hairs.

 

i have only ever really gotten live rock and coral skeleton slivers in my hands.... that and bristle worms are a bit*$!!!!!

 

Not really hurt in the tank, but, I went diving 14 days ago and a Portuguese Man o' War stung my left hand and it took several copious amounts of pills to let me sleep that night. It is finally healing with fresh pink skin

Got nailed by a fire worm about a year ago. Healed it with a topical solution of Hydrocortisone cream, and an oral solution of Jack Daniels and Coke. Was better in about a day.

 

Bit by my Percula Clown whenever I clean his tank...Cut by my live rock while cleaning th same tank and got an unrchin needle in my finger while cleaning the other tank-and they say to keep your hands out of the tanks as much as possible!!!!

 

Glued the fingers together before also. The thing that made me bleed the most was when I was trying to put some tubing together that wasnt ment to ? lol tight fit I slipped and the nozzle part on the sump pump cut my wart off my middle finger blood everywhere I think thats the most I have ever bleed. I had to clean the tubing and the pump, then through the towel out. Bristle worm bit me before Wasnt as bad as I tought it was going to be but it still hurt....

 

I had my canopy top slam down on my nogin leaving an egg sized lump , also had a really painful slip onto my porcelan flooring walking on an spill from a water change- who knew it was such an high impact hobby!

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a territorial clown. Coral Reefer I feel you pain. I've had a few mishaps along the way, but my consistent problem is my small tomato clown. Anytime I reach in the tank he decides to protect his anemone, even if I'm on the other side of the tank. For a while my hand was riddled with small little bites that all got minorly infected by the saltwater. Luckily I don't get in there much anymore. ;D
