TaylorW Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Wow, I wasn't aware of the affects of breathing it! I'll never boil a rock that had zoas or palys I guess, but then again I've never boiled live rock. I've always tried to take precautions when handling palys, especially since I heard about what happened to Holly (Gil&Fin) I'm not sure if her eyesight has completely came back yet. Very interesting and informative article, and a bit scary [emoji32] the boiling rocks part I think a lot more people should be educated on, although I've personally never done it most have probably done at some point. I've always had a fascination with palys in particular, my very first coral was a frag of nuclear green palythoas.

xxkenny90xx Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Ya I'm with you on that, I'll be more careful from now on as well. Very interesting that zoas and palys technically aren't corals too. Edited May 27, 2019 by xxkenny90xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 There have been a few reefers on here with horror stories. I have learned when I am fragging them to take my contact lenses out. Even when I use gloves , wear goggles and wash my hands thoroughly I still would have some residual left over that would cause eye redness .

xmas_one Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Does anyone have confirmation of specific zoas/palys that have that “super-death” juice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been my experience most palys in general. Purple deaths , nuke greens, sea foams and grandís Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always treat any Zoanthid or Paly like it has it. Goggles and gloves are a must when fragging and super clean your tools and area afterwards. Also take care when scrubbing or treating rocks that have them on it. They release their toxins whe stressed or damaged.
