Well after 18+ years I finally got pricked by a bristle worm. Doesn’t hurt but the next day it was irritated. Keeping an eye on it. Feels like it’s still in my finger lol. Glad it wasn’t a fire worm

I’ve never been stung - always wear gloves when need to move rocks around. That said - I used to have thousands of BW but not seeing a single one anymore. I think that my fish eradicated them all. They are good CUC but my family is freaked out seeing them!

Speedy recovery… I’m sure it’s a lot better than paly poisoning

Thank you, yeah, paly poisonings is way worse especially when it gets in your eye, last week my hologram hammer stung me where I had an open cut that hurt worse for about a couple hours.

I should really wear gloves. I almost got stung when I picked up a rock and saw this fat BW right under the rock. It was close.
