An interesting read
Palytoxin-Containing Aquarium Soft Corals as an Emerging Sanitary Problem
Palytoxin (PLTX), one the most potent marine toxins, and/or its analogs, have been identified in different marine organisms, such as Palythoa soft corals, Ostreopsis dinoflagellates, and Trichodesmium cyanobacteria. Although the main concern for human ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
So I have seen a lot of comments. And the first hand accounts are eye opening. However I’m not seeing a lot of pictures of dangerous zoas and palys. Not any pictures of safe ones either l. (I have also read all of the links and have a horrible headache now. ). It’s a bit of a blur.
So to a new reefer is the recommendation to don the hazmat suit and remove them all from your tank if you have any? so if it looks like a flower get rid of it basically.
Idk from what I’ve read it has to have direct route to blood..
I do find something interesting though. Just throwing this out there as it makes more sense to me.. you have chlorine in tap water (as well as many other cleaning agents) that you were using to wash off super dirty items from a crashed tank likely lots of detritus with built up ammonia levels in a small unventilated room of your house using possibly hot steamy water..
Sounds like you possibly created mustard gas.
There is one thing in common with what your saying though and that’s introducing water vapor in some form. I’ve never boiled rock to clean it. I see the risk of many other things by doing this even best case you’re standing over a pot of boiling ammonia which alone can burn your lungs.

Good reminder for everyone. Had they not called emergency, they would not have woken up. Stay safe.
Fish tank warning as family are hospitalised with unusual poisoning after cleaning coral
A fish tank warning has been issued after a family was hospitalised after inhaling a rare and deadly toxin emitted by coral.www.telegraph.co.uk
Eat one. If you post back up tomorrow, then it was the non toxic one.
Is anyone good at identifying the toxic types?
I think this is basically it. I agree some are more dangerous than others, but we should be cautious of all of them and be smart when handling them.I dont think we can say any of them is totally safe.
Short version.. the bright colorful corals we buy are not toxic.. the ones that are not bright and have white specs on the polyps are.. and they are very rare to come across..
