This is the first time I've seen anything being stung by the bubble anemone, just after I fed the shark tonight he wandered off and swam half through the anemone and then bolted up to the top of the tank hitting his head on the sliding glass cover and flew around the tank and settled down shortly after. Can't see any visible problems externally but he's still breathing a little fast.
Anything to worry about?
Should I remove the anemone? (don't have a spare marine tank until I get the 10'x5' tank for the shark in a few months).
Apart from the slightly fast breathing he seems ok, swimming at the bottom of the tank with the blue lights on. Saying that, I did just seem him flick/flash slightly.
Thanks,
Tom (forever asking stupid questions)

He should be ok. Anemone stings are painful but that should be all. Probably he just learned his lesson and won't wonder so close to the Anemone anymore.

I'm sure it will be fine. I had a moray that swam in to an anemone, it swam out real fast, but did no real harm. I'm sure next time it will stay away from it.

Worley, what kind of Shark do you have as I remember talking to you about it before and seeing a picture of it and believe my LFS now has one in.

Banded Bamboo Shark.
He's just over 7" long now, coming up to 2 months old
