My zebra moray knocked a rock out of place in my 150g. I'm pretty sleep deprived so without thinking about it I stuck my hand in there to fix it and promptly got bit by my puffer. He drew blood. Shortly afterwards, I accidentally drank some tank water.
The only thing living on the rock that got displaced was my bubble tip anemone. I'm more concerned that the same puffer ate two small small zoa frags (only 4 heads ea) somewhere between last night and this morning.
So my question - how does palytoxin poisoning work? Would the zoas have used it to defend themselves? Would it still be in the water? Could I get it from ingestion or the bite?
With how little exposure I had, I'm probably being paranoid (I'm 8mo pregnant atm), but I don't wanna take any chances...
Thanks a ton for your input!
