Did you pull the trigger?

Did you pull the trigger?

Still deciding but leaning away from it. Surprisingly the motivation is fading to do it again yet. I'll just live vicariously through Turtle, Fudsey and others building new.

Well, as long as it shows up this time ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

Looks like a normal, fat bristle worm to me.

 

[Fudsey]

Hey turtle, is that you hand in the tank or reflection? If it's in the tank, bristle worms can be very irritating if you end up touching them.

Reflection from outside the glass. I'd have to be stronger than a red wasp to really bother me tho. Years of getting stung by fire ants as a kid has built up my stingy animal resistance. Funny thing, is it did the exact opposite for my sister, who is now allergic to all kinds of stingy insects.

 

[sfin52]

I’ve handled them and no real efffect to me.

 

[Zack K]

I love them. Just wished I could keep them alive. Butterflies love them[emoji848]

It's not so much a sting, but more irritating. Like getting fiberglass shards in your skin.

Yep. It totally sucks.

 

[sfin52]

Now that on my arms leaves me with a rash. Yuck.

Agreed, not really painful but definitely uncomfortable.

The worst case of fiberglass I got was from my boat. Well, it was still Dad's before he bought his big 23' Seahunt... he had an old VHF radio in the console and the antenna was fiberglass. UV cured fiberglass. Rogue wave caught me off ballance and I grabbed it to keep from falling over. Hand and forearm embedded with fibers. That was not fun.

Last bristleworm event for me was the palm of my right hand, it irritated me, you lot need to man up a bit!?

AIEEE, this. This happened to me, accept it was on a car. I was 10 and climbed onto the roof of a 2003 Honda hybrid something and slipped. I grabbed the antenna... and my hand slid from top to bottom. I also dislocated my shoulder and got a concussion. ;Blackeye
Do they also feel like carpet anemone stings?
