looks like a sponge, but I've never seen that type before... Also they have never stung me

Maybe symptoms for around 3-4 hours total but the onset was sudden. Felt like a local anesthetic, numbness/tingling that quickly spread up to my forearm. I also felt somewhat confused/dizzy but that could have just been anxiety, lol.

 

They are spikes but they feel more like hair. Kind of "soft" spikes like a bristle worm. They don't leave the coral when it stings though.

First pic was 4 weeks after. They left scars on me been 6-7 weeks now. This was day 2
