Coral Handling Opinion...?

I don't wear protection when I handle my corals. However, I also don't have any corals that would die if they were touched. I have fragged zoas and palys as well and eaten right after. Hands still wet. I am just lazy tho.

 

Here are some pics from last night, ... They haven't fully opened yet!

Will post some newer ones later today or tomorrow!

Oh and threw in my other shroom pics as well!

 

cool pictures Red Gambit

Thanks Steve,

Most of the ricordeas are now fully open today! Should have a picture update soon ;

 

Nice!!! So what did they come on?frag plug,rock,nothing?I guess what i'm getting at is-did you have to touch them?

 

Majority of them where on a small rock fragment/plug like thing, few of them just on a very small stone, Didnt use gloves, but was able for the most part to not touch any part of the coral. I did brush up against one, because the stone it was on was very small... Felt weird and actually gave me a tingle... Went away right away though...

No allergic Reaction

 

Well that's good,i have some zoas on top of a rock(there on a smaller peice of rock)and something keeps knocking them off,I pick them up without gloves all the time,but after reading this thread i may start using gloves!

 

Nice new ricordia..

on the topic of gloves, I will always wear them after a little incident of fragging zoas and palys where I got sick as a dog with vomiting, racing heart rate, and nausea for hours.. it was pretty bad.. so wear gloves..

 

Elegance corals, Yellow Fiji leathers, flowerpots just to name a few

 

Thats not good ... Glad I asked for future references...
