My question is what type of flow should a zoanthids be under? I have a rio 400 powerhead in my tank and it is close to the zoanthid but not in direct flow. I am wonderign if I should move the pump or zoanthid so that it is in direct flow but at least 8 to 12 inches away???
Also I am concearned. It appears to me that many people on this board are totally unaware of how toxic zoanthid are. They have a really strong toxin called playtoxin that can kill a person if it gets into their blood. It can be ingestied or go through a cut- but jsut a smal lamount can kill. I have read abotu people and animals gettig nsick and dieing from them. One guys dog either ate oen or brushed their nose agist it when the guy was puttign them in his tank and the dog died hours later. People need to be made more aware of the precautions that should be taken with these.
By the way. If you have a zoanthid in yoru tank I realize you need to wear gloves when handelign it. But do you need gloves if you are working on a different part of the tank??? Does the toxin flow in the water column and can it get int thru a cut even if yo uare not touching the zoanthids???
