Fragging Zoas And Palys

[Shooter000]

IMPORTANT INFO,, PLZ!!! Everyone be careful when fragging these little guys, especially OG hallucinations, I had my eye protection on, I thought my gloves were good, but little did I know my glove had a hole in it, while fragging these beauties last night I started to become ill about an hr or 2 into it, by the middle of the night I was puking profusely, cold sweats, and the most agonizing back pain I have ever felt, I don't even have any cuts on my hands, so this is telling you that they are decently toxic people, be careful, be safe, always check your tools for defects, I am poisoned proof.....

Damn. That sucks. How r u today?
That's one of my biggest fear with pallys
Too bad that they are one of the corals I can actually grow

Palys are the worst. Palytoxin is the second deadliest poison in the world. A little of that stuff goes a long way. When I frag them I don't touch them I use tweeters to place them. For gloves you need to use the thicker gauge because I found the thin ones don't protect me enough to my liking. You should go get check out as a precaution as this can cause liver failure. Just let them know the kind of toxin you were working with. Hope you feel better.

Nightmare for you Sean !
Palys and zoas have differing toxin levels - some stronger than others and I guess that you were fragging a powerful one !
I previously had a asterina starfish problem and I noticed that while they ate my expensive zoas, they left the green button polyps alone - which proved to me that the toxin levels differ and some are definitely very strong
Thanks again for the warning - tough thing to deal with
Hope that you feel better soon

Wow! That's sucks, hope you're feeling better and I hope I'd don't make you rush by coming over later!

no this was after you had left, I started fragging for londons show, did up like -15 OG's then by about 11pm things went down hill, feeling a bit better now, still kinda woozy and Still got back pains, no more puking or cold sweats so that's good

 

[Kevin Tran]

Wow that suck, that the one colony that I had but never frag. Hope you feel better soon cause London frag fest is waiting for you

 

[SamB]

Hope that his prices don't go up because he wants "Danger Pay" !

 

[Cliff]

Hahaha

That is crazy. You always hear of the dangers, but we still think we are invincible. This hits close to home though.

So anyone going to make a video of fragging theses? Or will there be a demo at frag fest?

I have a bunch of cool palys in my old tank attached to a large rock and would like to transfer them to the new tank. But it ain't worth dyin over

 

[Shooter000]

well 2 1/2 to 3 days later and Shooter is feeling about 75% better. Seriously everyone!!!, BE CAREFUL with these bad boys, Zoas or palys. I can't stress this situation enough, I can only imagine what could of happen to me if I had actually had a cut on my hands, the palytoxin only absorbed into my skin, I'd probably be in the hospital or on deaths bed if I had cuts, PLZ EVERYONE use my mistake and misfortune as a HUGE warning to you, you know what they say don't F with a F'er or you'll get F'ed, I got F'ed!!!

Be cautious
Be safe
Be smart
Be a reefer


Thx sean

I'll post a vid of fragging Zoas &palys tomorrow night as I still want another day to recover, don't want to get the shakes while doing it...

 

[SamB]

Thanks for the update Shooter
What a nightmare Bud - glad that you are recovering but don't push it
Your system has had a shock and needs time to stabilize !
Sheesh, the stuff we do for our hobby eh ?

I think you should maybe not touch fragging them for a while, maybe a long while

 

[Shooter000]

Thx Sam

I know right apparently almost worth dying for, lol, but not really lol, lol, ya gonna take another day to recover drink lots of fluids and rest up, need all the strength I got to do the rest of my Zoas, will definitely be pouring water in my gloves before I put them on to see if there are any holes in them!!!

Can't make any money not touching bud, also can't spread the beautiful danger either if not fragged

 

[Shooter000]

Also this isn't my first palytoxin run in...

It's like inception, you're quoting yourself.
I read you can just cut off the heads to frag? Said will take longer to regrow.
So just pry them up off the rock, or get a knife and try getting under them?

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Sean. Be careful! And see you the the frag fest.
