The only thing I would add is be sure to use protective gloves!!! The palytoxins can enter a small cut or absorbed into the skin and it is extremely toxic. Even a face shield is highly recommended in case the paly squirts while cutting through it. If you do notice extreme symptoms go to the hospital and tell them that it is palytoxins as they won't be able to determine that without you telling them and they can provide the proper treatment.
I all ways like to stress the importance of safety when dealing with palys because I know several people that have had some serious run ins with palytoxins and the inexperienced reefer may not know this can happen at all.
