I forgot the name of this one.  Got it this weekend.  It also gave me a pretty mean sting.  Not fun. Anyone know the name?

HA!  That would be an accurate description of the little devil!  I have band aids on my fingers from the sting.  They are super itchy and sort of like a bee sting.  Darn coral!

Pour some vinegar on the area...or soak them if they're bad.  The vinegar inhibit further discharge of the nematocysts.  Works best if immediately applied, but may still help.  Next, a very warm compress will help as well.

Excellent!  I'll try the vinegar.  It's still bothering me.  Hopefully it will help.  Thanks Brad!  I couldn't remember what the name was.   Knew it was brain but that's about it.

Thanks again!
