Reminder. Be careful Zoanthids and palythoa emit toxins that can make you real sick. My wife developed flu like symptoms, breathing difficulty and chest pain after working on a reef tank yesterday. Thank God she is better today. You can get sick for inhalation as well as from open cuts.

This is why I've always avoided these.

I’d get them out bro. Not worth it. You know how many stories prolly go undocumented?!
Those things are dangerous. I wouldn’t risk it with your wife.

Best of luck to you guys.

Thanks, they are safely gone. She was helping me breakdown the tank.
