The chances of you getting sick by a zoa are slim to none. I wouldn't and I wont worry about it.
So is it safe to cut zoa of my over flow to put on plugs or will it hurt everything in my tank?
I do. One colony of green zoas.Josh do you have zoa in your tank now?
Good thread to resurrect. Easy for people to forget about until it's too late.I guess I'm kind of resurrecting this thread, being bored at work and all. I also think most Palythoa and zoas carry this to some extent. While others are downright nasty to deal with. The ones I had trouble with (numbness, loss of taste/coppery taste, increased heart rate) were of Palythoa Grandis. Commonly called cinnamon polyps and usually look pretty drab, my toxic (pun intended) green ones tried to kill me while fragging them. Moral of the story, most of them will probably be fine, but why risk it on a "probably"? Just use common sense, sorry for the crappy pic but here are the ones I had my experience with.

I would use gloves and goggles, and yes clean all surfaces with soapy water. Better safe than sorry.Ok so we know the dangers and steps to protect ourselves and others. I really want to frag a couple zoas. So my question is how much more then hand/arm washing should I be worried about? Should I then sanitize my sink and faucet handles? I don't want to put my son and fiancé in danger. Should I immediately wash the towel I use to dry my arms?
I guess my point is what about all the secondary contact points after handling/fragging the Zoas?
