You know you guys are to fast for me, even though I already had those links I walked away from my desk for 2 minutes when I posted that It made me well... Slow...LOL, so I had to modify it a little bit.
It is very important that everyone understands how dangerous that stuff is! In fact There should be a stick in all coral propagation forums about it, might keep some people from getting seriously hurt.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Basically it is some really, really, really nasty stuff and you must be very careful when working with zoanthids, not to get it on your skin, in your eyes or mouth or alow any kids or animals anywhere near your work area or equipment! | OMG!!!! I knew that some corals were toxic, but never paid much mind to it, really. Except with my 7-year old. When moving stuff around and having it close to the surface, he has many times wanted to reach in and touch it -- which I absolutely have forbidden him to do. Thank you a million times over for inadvertantly making me aware of what I was dealing with. I have printed the story about the dog which I will read to my son tonight.

yeah, I used gloves, and made sure the work area was clean and clear of anything, I read about them before attempting it, but yeah I agree on safety, its not something to play around with for sure, just wear proper gear and always take your time and it should go ok.
