What should I do? I have a fuzzy dwarf lion about 2 1/2 inches.

Any inflamation or redness at that sting site?
I know vinegar is recommended to ease the sting and reduce swelling from anenomes, urchins and similar critters... should help. Might want to call Poison Control just in case, I'd be curious to hear what they have to say (if anything besides 'you got sting by a what?')

allright this is no joke!!!! i got stung by my volitan lion about 5 years ago. I went to the emergency room and they didnt know what the **** to do, they dripped and IV in me with something I am not sure what it was but it hurt like ****. but they said I wold be allright!!!! Vinegar and a meat tenderizer works well too!!!!
ok poison control did not even blink he said hot water now... then asked the size and if the stinger(s) were still inside. They are not and he is small so he said I will be fine and the hot water kills the toxin the the sting
thanks for the quick answers I did not even think about poison control.
that is good to hear, my volitan got me good, the little turd snuck up on me when I was adjusting a power head and got 2 spines in my middle finger!!!! the ER didnt know what to do ( this is in Idaho) they did not know what a lionfish was. I thought I was a dead man!!!
Good to hear (both that he didn't nail you too badly and are going to be okay, as well as posion control actually having a clue! BTW might want to avoid petting your lionfish for a few days
We always joke about the looks on peoples face if we ever had to make a run to the ER because of something in our tank, trying to explain how we were afflicted by coral toxins while living in WI would be quite a challenge at best.
