Happy reefing!! I just read up on it, will make sure I use gloves next time I hand the rock 😮 thanks for the heads up. Is it safe for fish I take it that aren’t effected? Quote Link to comment

I haven't heard of it causing problems with livestock in the tank and I believe that it's mostly when they are cut that you have to really worry about it. Just wanted to make sure you had an idea of what your working with so you can take the right precautions.. Quote Link to comment

They can sting Corals and can come and go over the life of the tank. Quote Link to comment
