What happens if I put my hand in a haddoni anemone? How bad would that hurt?

Try it ….
and let us know .
The hands are not the most sensitive . When it wraps around your wrist or forearm is where you will feel it .
but . Every person is different .
I say try it !

At least in Miami I’m sure medical professionals at least know what a anemone is or how to treat stings .

in Ontario Canada where I am after the last sting which left blisters up my arm and every time after progressively got worse . Not sure if the anemone sting become stronger or my system was weaker . But I was advised to inform any medical professionals with as much information as possible .
Similar to the same effects if you’re allergic to bee stings .

Start small .
gigantia or mag .

carpets are generally stickier
When the tentacles stick if you remove your hand . Glove etc the tentacle remains attached and continue stinging

I react to different corals. Everyone will have a different reaction. Depends on your body. So far the worst was the palytoxin for me. Next the fireworm, then rabbitfish, urchin, carpet - haddoni, aiptasia get me bad, torch/hammer/frog make my fingers numb along with the trumpets.
I try to remember to wear gloves. When I forget, well, I suffer sometimes.
