I got bit by a Juv. lemon shark while diving, but no serious damage, just needed a new wet suit and some stiches. All other "incidents", never really involved me -- other than I was the victim, lol. Usually it was people around me being stupid, scared, or out right crazy that caused most of the mishaps!!

those puffers can really do some damage too.once when I was quite young, I stepped on a stingray in africa and got not a purposeful sting, just an accidental dragging of the tail across my ankle. Hurt like s'hit
Ive never been bitten by my fish but my red eared slider latched onto my finger when i was hand feeding it. When i pulled my hand back the turtle wouldn't let go. I must have looked funny shaking my hand around with a 6 inch turtle attatched to my finger. Amazingly he didn't break the skin. I don't hand feed him anymore.
I was scrubbing algae off the saltwater tanks at the lfs i work at and we had this bastard queen trigger about 8" that took a good piece of my pinkie. had to get 5 stitches for that. then like 4 days later i was scrubbing algae in the saltwater show tank and rammed the side of my hand into an urchin. the thing was sticking out of my hand untill i pulled it out. i had this like black ink stuff in my hand the whole week. ive almost got bitten by my 14" wolf fish at home when i was aquascaping but luckily he got like wedged between the glass and some drift wood. im gonna start wearing welding gloves when i go in there lol
was stung by a jellyfish- no idea what kind but my leg was numb for a few hours-so didnt hurt that much. having said that i was at an age where i saw something really big in the water and thought it would be a good idea to go "pet" it. looking back i was lucky as **** it was a manitee.
Davo reminded me of getting stung by some jellys in florida when on vacation, nothing to serious but my dad got stung and there was a scare on his arm even to this day, While working at my LFS i have been slamed with a pleco's side fin that hurt drew blood. But other then that nothing crazy yet...
