Great video, but even though you discuss the danger of palytoxin, someone handles a rock and ends up touching zoanthids in an aquarium at 2:25. You should always wear gloves around zoanthids, and glasses really, especially when fragging.

Great advice here! Gloves and glasses are an excellent way to help protect your self when fragging and/or working inside the tank. I think it is pretty common for experienced hobbyists to handle rocks and live corals without gloves because a majority of the cases in which palytoxin poisoning occurs it was either ingested or inhaled. Either way, good catch and for the sake of being safe - Always use gloves and glasses when working with poisonous corals!
