Can an anemones sting get stronger?
I ask because I handled my RBTA several times when I bought it, and then during and right after the move. I never got stung, even though I brushed up against it many times. Lately the female clown that used to host in it hasn't touched it at all, in favor of the green BTA, or the green carpet. I hadn't really noticed that she wasn't hosting it anymore until I brushed up against it twice in the last three weeks while trying to retrieve frags that had fallen into the sandbed. The first time was nearly three weeks ago. I instantly felt like I had a minor sunburn, and when I got done I noticed a slight rash. I rubbed bendadryl gel on it and it was gone in a couple hours. Three nights ago I managed to rub up against it again and it was a much more intense and fast sting, the area, (anterior forearm) immediately broke out in a rash, and was much more irritated than the first time which was on the more tender inner forearm area. I used the benadryl gel again, but three days later I still have a rash in the area. I immediately wondered if I was simply developing more of a reaction to the stings, but then realized that the clown wasn't hosting it anymore either, so maybe it wasn't just me.
