Deimos Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 "mommy....Uncle Bobbie is touching me down THERE and it makes me feel icky..." LOL Couldn't resist. Go ahead and touch it, fondle it, do whatever with it (may want to refrain from licking it..Vibrio infections can suck)....stop bein' a pansy! lol Have fun... Link to comment
serjuanca88 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 It wont hurt the rock, but it may hurt you. Well not really. I got some spines stuck in my hands. And the rock can scrape a little bit, but hey, this is reefing, its dangerous! Link to comment
tinyreef Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 i don't particularly like doing so but you can. i'm always concerned (squeamish) that i'm going to feel something i don't particularly want to. i.e. goosh a peanut worm, squish a sponge, moosh a spaghetti worm, or pet a bristle worm, etc., stuff like that. :x shouldn't be a dangerous issue unless there's urchins and stuff e.g. flower urchins are lethal but by and large most things are just nuisance or gross value levels.

mane3215 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 what wrongs with touching bristle worms? Link to comment
killrblue Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 If you dont know what is ok to touch, play it safe, wear gloves. Sometimes there are critters on the rock that can put you in the hospital. A member here pressed on 1 to kill it thinking it was safe and went to the emergency room. Not trying to scare you but a circumstance of "your tank trying killing you" has happened. It was his 18g Office Nano. Oh and by the way he is selling it I live dangerously and handle my LR with my bare hands. Link to comment
mane3215 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Damn heheh, killrblue, is that the dude from dc selling his office 18g setup? What they hell hit him to put him in the hospital? Link to comment
