man never worry. harmless wee fish. i've handled over 100 of them with no harm. no more dangerous than handling a bass, thornie or wrasse. :) they're a funny wee fish. if you lie them across the palm of your hand you can feel them croaking away :P :P :P . when distressed they blow themselves up to look bigger too :lol: :lol: . like i said man, funny wee fish.
