Do you wear gloves when fragging?

I don't, but it is a good idea. Especially with palys or acros. (The acro smell lasts a while)

I do not. When collecting corals (legally of course), when fragging in my tanks, I do not. I probably should, as I frag a lot of zoanthids and palythoa, but just never have. I also always frag in water and not dry, so that may help, but who knows.

I do

Mainly because when I'm fragging it's allot at one time and my hands would get super slimy. Also, I have a pretty good scar from when I got the dremel out and said "it's just gonna be two cuts". It was not two cuts, it was three (two on the coral and one on my thumb).

I do because I almost always have some type of open cut on my hands.

I need to start!

need a third option, sometimes. I usually only wear gloves when i'm fragging palys

I don't. I've tried using them when fragging and when going into the tank. I depend too much on my tactile sense for gloves...

After two minor infections in a year from grabbing coral and rock added, i have gone back to using my aqua gloves

 

[bushdoc]

I don't, because my corals have latex allergy.....
Yes I do, I do not want to introduce detergent to my tank, get cut and cyanoacrylate gel is gluing my fingers together and I do actually have an allergy or sensitivity to reef epoxy.

I use gloves when dipping corals, but I don't really frag anything myself yet.

I don’t use gloves, the coral slime usually doubles as a great moisturizer.



JK!
