alexcyf Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Generally they are not that deadly. As a precaution, u can always wear gloves to handle. They shouldn’t do harm to other inhabitants in the tank.If u are worried, avoid big scary palythoasSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Follow Alex's Reefing Journey @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Indeco Posted September 8, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2019 If not wrong most or all zoas have Palytoxin. They will emit it when they feel their life is in danger.Always wear glove and safety glass when u handle zoas.General safety, never put ur hand into the tank if got wound.

snickerdoodle Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 when u put it hand in the tank, always always wear gloves. the chemicals from your skin will piss off the corals when handling them, also wear gloves and eye protection ya-- Regards,SnickerdoodleThe Reef Noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
