Lion fish stings

[LionFishLover07]

So, Arson (my lion fish) is very healthy. And so are my other fish. But, my cinnamon clown fish is just doing its own thing! I saw my clown fish swimming over the tentacles of my lion fish. So, its belly was touched by them. It has happened a few times. And I'm just wondering if it's dangerous. She seems to be doing just fine now. She is swimming normally. Is it just me or is that crazy? Cause she should've been parallelized, right? Please give me some answers to this. If you need a picture of her, just ask me. Thank you!

I think in order for another animal to be envenomated they actually have to be punctured by the spines. If the clownfish just swam by or grazed them without out actually being impaled I do not think they would be envenomated.

Also, not all the spines necessarily hold venom inside....but you do need to be punctured by a spine for invenomation

Oh, I guess I was just overreacting (as usual). Thank you!
