How do you get the smell of coral slime off your hands?

[chadfish]

Sure, gloves are always best, but more than one of us have had to grab a frag with bare hands. Often SPS smells really bad, probably because it’s releasing some stress chemicals. I can’t seem to get it off my hands. I’ve tried different soaps, sanitizer, vinegar and baking soda..

What’s a proven way to get rid of the smell?

Ketchup like tomatoe juice is the acid. Why do you think they say wash a dog in tomatoe juice for skunk.

There's fisherman's soap that comes with grit in it. Works for fish slime, would probably work for coral slime. Do not absent-mindedly try to use it in the shower on parts of your body that are not your hands, you will regret it.
