Soft Corals and toxins


Double A
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello,

When i cut some soft leather corals for fragging, it  releases some slime that is quite nasty.

I do recall they are toxins released, but not as bad as palytoxins.

However, do i still need to worry on all this excess toxins being released everytime i frag (once a week as leather grows like weed and fighting with bubble coral above). 

Please assist. Thanks

I don't think you need to worry about it affecting health, but if you put a freshly cut piece in the tank it will release chemicals in your system. Just run carbon and I think you should be fine. I read papers about how leather coral chemicals released (as a defence mechanism) can limit stony coral growth.
