Yup. It's the truth. Always wash your hands after handling any corals.

I had read this on several boards. I believe I read on saltwaterfish.com's board that one of the guys that posts here was ill too...from handling the zoo's.

Anyway, it was a sad tale. My husband is so paranoid that he wont even help with a water change without gloves on...probably a little smarter than I am, but my hands are so small I cannot find gloves that will work and still allow me to do what I need to do.

That was so sad. I hope nothing like that happens to anyone again. How did Kevin Kramers dog injest it though? Did he eat a polyp or was the toxin active in the water because of a fresh cut propagation?

Very sad indeed. I hope we all take a little more caution while we pioneer this hobby and toy with mother nature.
