I guess I’ll post the usual video that really puts these corals in perspective.

This is why there will never be any in my tanks. Never have been either.

I’m just going to comment and say this is serious business. I got complacent and I had an eye that almost felt like it was going to burst. Always wear gloves and eye protection. Always wash hand before and after. I got very lucky...

They’ve got a go fund me page for this family... just in case anyone was interested in helping. And I’m with you reefaholic! No palys in my tank... got zoas which have lower palytoxin levels, but they still got them... so either way, I don’t touch them. Glove or not. Also the reason I won’t frag
