I hate snails and hermits, I pick them up but I can't stand feeling them move on my hands at all, I also get really grossed out when I move some live rock and stick my hand into a great big sponge.

Octopus!

I once tried to pick up an octopus by hand. It grabbed me and suctioned onto my hand with its tentales. Squirming, sticky tentacles; beaked mouth hidden from sight.

It was horrible. I couldnt get it to let go of me.

I will never do that again.

Super tongan nassarius snails freak me out, nothing else really, I agree though medussa worms feel yucky however they dont bother me like nassarius snails, no other snails bother me

The big fat bristle worm that we found in my tank last night. It was only about 3 inches long but it was very fat. It was so creepy that my husband had to fish it out for me. We put it in a plastic container to examine it more closely and it secreted a yellow milky substance. Eew!!!

oh yes, definitely add mantis shrimp to the list. obviously more than just creepy to handle since they can pack a mean punch to an unprotected hand. but even looking at them gives me the shivers. so dang smart, too.
