No, I haven't gotten tagged yet. If the lions get me, I'll just use hot water. If the waspfish get me... it would be the hospital.
I'm always a little wary when I get a new fish. It takes 2 people to clean the tank. One to watch and give play by plays of the fish's whereabouts and the other to do the scrubbing. But then you "learn"them and their different personalities and they get use to you.
The problem is my name... I am called the "Food God" in these parts and they all come running when they see me. The c.ockatoo in particular tries to glide up to my hands for food while I'm cleaning so I usually have to withdraw before I'm done to finish it later. Last time it took 3 goes before I could finish the front panel.
They give us warning if they aren't pleased. Here his head is down with his spines pointed directly at us. He won't come over but he's saying "don't you dare come to me either!"

And even if you do get poked it is more like a bee sting than anything.
Also tried to explain the same concept to another poster about the Canary Blenny Meiacanthus oualanensis and if you ever did get nipped it was the same kind of thing, not like you were going to suffer long and hard but more like a bee sting or something similar.
So yeah depending on Renees answer I may have more questions.
Oh yeah and who was the one grilling her on the seahorse care yesterday anyway!!!!!!!!!!
