I can add to the Bristle worm photo's.
Found the worm in my bucket of rock while moving the tank to the new place.... Had to wait 20 minutes for a friend to bring me Duct tape (best way to remove the bristles) http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...tank/Oops1.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...tank/Oops1.jpg And the cause of the problem, tank is 18" wide, and it hasn't stretched out yet in this picture. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...k/IMG_2335.jpg |

Recycled beer? but no more alcohol. Who wants to drink beer without alcohol? Never mind that, who wants to drink their pee? not me!

Yes well, that's common sense to wash your hands before you put them in your mouth after handling any coral, not just zoanthids. This can still happen if one is not carefull and toutch the gloves he or she used and then put the hands in the mouth.
I am not saying it's not dangerous but it's not very dangerous and very low risk. You will not die from just plainly handling zoanthids or other coral but you might if you eat it or drink the water from fragging, so keep your children AWAY from this when you frag but I will not put gloves. There are some much more dangerous things in our aquarium than zoanthids, like the vibrio bacteria, the fish tuberculose and many other bacterias that could be potentially harmfull, yet those occurences are extremely rare.

after got sting serveral times by my long spined urchin, now everytime i always watch where he is before putting my hand in.
Got sting by anemone, long spined urchin, bristles worms. Out of three, anemone was the worst, it last for days. |
Got nailed by a Foxface Rabbitfish recently, that was not fun I must say......................

Interesting. I toutched my rock flower anemones tentacles many times but never felt anything other than the tentacles are sticking to the skin but no sting and no pain. I guess that rock flower anemones do not sting?

Bristle worms are the only thing that really sting me , have brushed against all kinds of coral including torches & an extremely sticky carpet with no effect.
The last few times I have been really badly stung by a BW the next day I'm highly nauseous and have a killer migraine. Itchy itchy fingers too :neutral:. |
Well if they sting I am immune to it because I can't feel a thing beside the tentacles sticking to my skin when I pull away. Same result with my duncans as the tentacles often stick to my skin but I don't feel anything remotely painfull.
The people at the LFS when I bought both anemones were handling them out of the water and into the bag with their bare hands, toutching it quite a bit. Did not seem to hurt either of them. Quote:
