So I just got my first corals for my reef, a set of 7 (+1 freebie!) zoas.
I dipped them, took a toothbrush to the plugs, etc, and was careful to wear eye pro and a mask, with nitrile gloves.
Now... what about the things that touched them, or more realistically, the water they were in?
Scissors for the bags, large stainless bowl, frag carrier and 2L beaker used for the dips, etc.
What is the best way to clean these?
Good washing in hot, soapy water?
Perhaps a pass or two through a hot dishwasher afterwards?
I know palytoxin can be bad, but short of boiling rocks (inhaling), cuts in the skin, eyes, and mouth... what level of paranoia is a good idea here?
