Very sticky & VERY stinging. The fellow who got mine from the LFS refused to use gloves. His arm was red & swollen.

I talked to the guy that I got mine from. I guess different types of tube anemones eat fish. The one that I have wont eat them. nor do they have stinging tentacles. He said that he has had one of these things in his tank for years, and never lost a fish.
