Yea I tend to never where gloves but I am extremely careful handling things. Here is an article I read a while back. He boiled some, but the symptoms are serious and he explains it well in his own experiences.

Palytoxin can cause cause serious health problems and even death. If you think you may have came in contact with the poison then I wouldn't hesitate to seek medical attention immediately. Problem is most doctors aren't very familiar with it because they probably don't freak with it often if ever in their career, unless you live by the ocean I suppose. I may be a hypocrite, but play it safe with these corals!

Thanks! STILL NEED MORE...
But I can stop.... if I wanted too.
All the space on the top of the photo! I want to pack the color in! I wish I wouldn't have let those dragon eyes take up as much room as they did though.

God I despise named corals....
Reminds me of the 90s when we had LFS saying "This is the True Blue Mobious Dirty Sanchez Fireblaster Zoanthid LE" Limited edition until the next shipment.
Come on. Zoanthids should be classified by their Genus species base color, polyp color, and center coloration not something like Jason Fox Superman Iceblaster Elite
