BeardUp Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I have some green palys on a rock branch. I dont remember the name but they are very green under the light. This group is under my nem after it split so they are looking a bit darker right now. Located in SE PDX in Lents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I would recommend wearing gloves when working with that particular strain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardUp Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 So I should stop trying to crush the ones that are taking over my other rocks? 11 minutes ago, Krux said: I would recommend wearing gloves when working with that particular strain.

BeardUp Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 I mean... I knew it was risky but I have crushed like 20ish. They are taking over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjlife Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 not 100% sure but crushing them seems like it would help to spread them out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardUp Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 I moved to a new tank and these are the only things left in the old one. If no pick ups happen they are probably going to the lfs with a free blue damsel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil&Fin Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Yeah, I agree with the glove recommendation and raise it with full-on goggles and maybe a hazmat suit. I still have PTSD from my encounter, although the ophthalmologists at OHSU found it to be a great opportunity to treat this rare and devastating toxin over the months it took my eye to recover. Do not boil the rock either as the toxin is literally deadly if inhaled. Public service announcement over... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teramelos Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I suffered from poisoning as well a few weeks ago after doing serious fragging and leaving my skimmers on it went airborne and I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pain, short breath,numb fingers and metallic taste in my mouth serious stuffbe careful 💕 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardUp Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 now you all are making me think this cold is from these palys! Still available if you can believe it with all these great selling points. The ones I am giving away were on a piece of rock I had glued to some base rock and the palys grew around it like a branch. I have broken the branch off at the glue point. I would just let the base rock they have spread to dry out, however, I had placed some of @Gil&Fin's awesome encrusting SPS on that same rock and I would like to keep as well as some mushrooms. I may just take the rock out and chisel them off individually. It sounds like Jeff might end up with a bunch of palys and a blue damsel soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardUp Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Holly you are so kind. The damsel and the branch of palys has found a new home. I think I am going to try to remove some of the sps from the other rocks and let the palys dry outside. Thanks for all the support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
