Wow, I had no idea... I have three dogs how are always around my tanks. Thank you for taking the time to let us know...

Yes its sad indeed. This is why its important to clean your hands when working with zoos

Wow. I will think twice before getting some. I do wear gloves in my tank, it was a great purchase. Funny, I bought them to protect against adding something toxic into my tank!

Your dog is really cute, is that a cocker spanial? Really feel sorry for both you and your wife, and thanks for sharing that. I'm sure most people after reading this topic, they would be more careful with marine corals and inverterbrates.
