Just as a reminder to everyone, don't take our corals for granted while handeling! Yesterday while I was seaperating the good parts of my birdsnest from the zoanthid infested side, without touching any zoa's one decided to do the squirting thing. I got it square in the eye! I swear it was targeting me. Anyway, luckily I had a bottle of saline soluion and an eye wash cup. Even after flushing my eye out it was still irritated. Even today, it feels ok, a little tender but no loss of sight but man does it look like I have pink eye. So the next time I deal with ant zoa's I will be wearing saftey glasses. Be careful everyone! This could have been worse, luckily I believe that the zoa that squirted me (it was a pink & gold) was one that the toxin was not as strong as others. I have been in this hobby what, seven, eight years now and this is my first almost emergency. It can happen to anyone at any time. Happy reefing everyone!
