I got some Palythoas from tonga recently and from everything i have researched about them they most likely are one of the very toxic varieties. Very pretty but very toxic, i had to cut a small head off to avoid crushing it and was sure to wear thick full lenght gloves.

FWIW:
If you have an allergy to stings from insects (primarily bees), chances are about 90%+ that you also harbor allergy to marine stings. Marine animal toxins are extremely closely related to Insecta toxins. Contain the same protein that people with sting allergy cannot process, and causes the allergic reaction. I learned this the hard way, getting stung by jellyfish and ending up in the hospital for a few days rest, then on crutches for 6+weeks while I waited for my legs to heal. And let me tell you...the pain is EXCRUTIATING. If you harbor allergies, I would warn you to take precaution on ANY coral handling.

If you're going to remove the educational value of this thread, I may as well just lock it. I fail to see any humor there, and would appreciate you taking your humor attempts to the Lounge.

Sorry about the comment, its just that I don't think that it is fair to throw people into a false panic which was what I was intending to do with that blue ringed octo joke. I guarantee you lots of pople got rid of their zoo's b/c of being misinformed by paraniod aquarists on this forum and thats just sad. I guarantee you have a greater chance of dying from a falling vending machine than you have sticking your hands in your home aquarium.

lol I was just thinking about comparing this to the blue ringed octi. If he had been bitten, he would not have had the time to make a post. But anyway I guess some zoos are similar to the blue ring.. just because the blue ring can kill doesnt mean all octopi are deadly.

My understanding is that Re: Blue-ring Octopus for the longest time until maybe 15 years ago you could say "NO ONE WHO WAS BIT, LIVED". But as I understand it, the good news is there is now an anti-venin that has been developed. The bad news is that A)it must be administered within 20 minutes, and B) it is all in Australia, there is none in the U.S.. At least that WAS the case. So it won't help you with your pet here. As we said to new hires, "see that?, if you get bit, run to the phone and call mom and say goodbye." It made them understand. But too, I once had one crawl across my hand, and wondered if you could feel it when they bit. I understand like many animals it just about takes harassing a egg-guarding female to get bit. My encounter was accidental, which that wouldn't have changed the outcome had it felt threatened, or been aggressive, and struck in defense. You wouldn't be reading this post !!
 Let's be careful out there folks |

I don't put much faith in their methods one way or another. That's a whole other thread in itself. One for the lounge.

dono...it sure would be cool if they would investigate the issue that would put the debate to rest. if or until then i persionally am neutral. i beleive that the oceans hold the key to curing many desieases so it would not supprise me if it were true. until then DO NOT EAT YOUR ZOA"S!!!!!
but please don't be scard to keep them either there is something called a placebo effect.....
