The worst bite ever experienced in our hobby?

[DMG Reef]

In the mid 90's, a huge pet store opened in OKC with incredible saltwater fish. I bought a lionfish. The clerk filled a bag with water, then told me to hold the bag open while he netted the fish. He grabbed the underside of the fish to drop him in the bag upside down, careful to avoid the poisonous spines. You can probably guess where this is going. He stabbed my hand with the spines. We looked at each other, horrified, for about 10 seconds. Then he sprang into action and whisked me off to a sink to wash the wound. It was like a bee sting, I've had worse. I still bought the fish and I was amazed that I didn't get offered a discount.

Some may be able to remove an MP10 wetside before a large Peacock Mantis crosses a four foot tank through its tunnels and treats your finger like a giant hermit but it turns out I can't.
