About zoanthids

Hello R\C when working with zoos should your gloves just cover your hands or should the gloves cover your whole arm? What I'm asking is dose the toxicins float in the water or just on the zoos them selves? Sorry for misspelled words

I use just gloves. If I'm fragging I wear glasses also. Unless their getting squished while I'n the water column then it shouldn't matter.

Isn't it just in the coral itself?

The toxin is in the corals but is released into the water when the coral is damaged or dying so if your arms are in contact with the water I would try to cover them also with extra long gloves.
