Exclamation Numb finger - did I get stung?

My right ring finger has been almost completely numb at the tip back to the back of my nail. The only visible signs of injury is a slight purple bruising on the underside of the middle section of the finger. There are no bite marks, scratches, redness or irritation otherwise. I've been doing lots of fragging and mounting over the weekend and rearranging lots of corals, but I don't remember ever feeling a pinch or anything painful. Is it likely that I got stung by something? I've never seen a bristleworm in my tank, and the only things in my tank that I think are known for stinging are my BTA and my elegance coral. But I've touched both of those many times before without ever having a reaction. Could it be zoas? I thought that the palytoxins in those were nothing to worry about.
