Aquarium Advice Apprentice
The more reading I do, the more I find out about the suprising defensive mechanisms some of these saltwater aquarium creatures have, such as the thumb splitting mantis shrimp, stinging lion fish, spearing mantis shrimp, and most suprisingly stinging bristle worms? I wonder what other sw critters has these traits to be forwarned of? As a complete newbie I do not want to stick my hand in to grab something to painfully find out that it can defend itself! I was wondering if some of the more experienced members would mind listing off a few of the common sw critters that you do not want to get to friendly with, and what they would do, and how much it would hurt (I am kinda facinated now) because if I had not been browsing through these forum pages, I would have never known to not just grab a bristle worm!
