Is this the dangerous zoa? Palytoxin?

In essence, none are dangerous unless:
  • Placing new frags
  • Removing frags
  • Fragging
  • Removing corals next to Paly’s & Zoas
  • Cleaning live rock in general
  • Breaking down a tank
  • Moving from tank to tank
To reduce chances of poisoning or toxicity:
  • Keep the coral submerged when moving between tanks. Containers with aquarium water work great. The greatest risk is when coral is exposed to air
  • Wear gloves when handing Paly’s & Zoa’s
  • When scrubbing rocks always scrub with the rock completely submerged. ALWAYS wear gloves, goggles & mask
  • Avoid working in your tank with cuts and hangnails on your arms and hands
  • Wear eye protection when cleaning live rock, fragging etc
  • NEVER BOIL or COOK LIVE ROCK – Sends the toxin airborne
  • ALWAYS wash your hands after they have been in the tank
  • Palytoxin awareness
