Checking in with others who know more than I.
Night before last I knocked over a rock onto my Zoa colony, then tried putting it back and it flipped over and I put it back.
Left center colony
It was these Greenish blue ones that slimmed
My Zoa slimmed on the end that got bopped by the little rock and then I think it released some toxins because my hand got slightly tingly. The next morning the Sunset Monti rock had a bunch of white stuff on it and today when I got home my orange rock coral was all brown.
Orange one to the upper edge only half visable
I am planning to do my water change to get that out of the water. I usually just use the same 1G pitcher to change the water. Any recommendations on using the same pitcher even if it is for the SW only, one with the old tank water to be different from the one with the clean water? would that be necessary?
Also, whether the toxins might have ill effect on the FW, if I use the same container? I would think it would be bad?
How to clean it out? Or what does one use to neutralize the effects.
And since I am asking related questions, what is the best way to wash your hands after something like that happens?
I used an extra dose Prime in the tank afterwords and then today too.
And I will wear gloves. NOOB!
