Wow! I'm glad you're OK.

If I were you, I'd get the wife and dogs out for a day or two, get a respirator and some gloves, and thoroughly clean everything in the house. I believe palytoxin is a rather stable molecule. I think water + tsp would be able to remove it from surfaces pretty well.

I've always made a habit of using nitrile gloves while handling live rock or inverts, but I'll definitely be doubly sure to take all precautions now after reading this story :-O. I always did it more for the animal's sake than mine, but sheesh.
