I used this dip on 5 zoa rocks this evening, wearing disposable reef gloves on both hands. I killed a couple of nudis and one egg sack. When I was done I noticed water had gotten into both gloves...typical for the disposables.

That reminded me that zoas are EXTREMELY DEADLY POISONOUS and I think people should be reminded to wear good quality reef gloves. Especially considering that you will be gripping the zoa rocks quite tightly in order to swoosh them around in the dip properly. The thin disposable gloves are not safe enough, IMO, to use while doing this procedure.

better safe than sorry (or dead)
