Palytoxin
Couple of questions on this after a store sent me a paly instead of a zoa.
1) can this nuke my tank? (I run carbon) 2) can this go airborne? |

There is no problem having them in the tank.. They will not nuke it. It is you that they can "nuke". Use the utmost care when handling them. I am one who was poisoned.

2) Yes, if scrubbed at with a brush, or fragged etc. Use PPE when handling.

Sounds good, I'll probably let this one grow in peace off to the side.

Palytoxin is a multifaceted attacker. It can get you thru the skin, as with Billdogg, squirt you in the eye or you inhale it. I inhaled it. When EMT's arrived all vital signs were in the red.
