algae blennies don't do much for hair algae.
I've been stung ~10 times by a volitan lion, and it doesn't tend to upset me ( a quick muttering of expletives and then back to whatever I was doing in the tank).
However, my brother didn't know they actually stung, and being the goofy guy he is he 'petted' it as I walked by with it in a plastic container. I was moving out, and he was being silly by saying goodbye. A 3/8" portion of his finger died. He doesn't have feeling there anymore.
The stings affect everyone differently. Glad to see your reaction wasn't too bad.
