I am just wondering why there is no warning other than what we've seen online (and there's many of us who are unfamiliar with these resources)

Does it seem a little odd to any of you? Perhaps I am the only one, but it seems LFS's should inform, and online vendors should note the possible poisoning of zoanthids and any other corals. This would give people a great warning and I am sure they would take extra measures in being careful with the corals.

Anywhoo, just something that popped into my head... the only warnings I have seen are from what I have researched and found out online (RC and here) If it weren't for these sites, I'd have no clue. This wouldn't be such a big deal if zoanthids weren't so darn toxic. They can do a number on you from what I've read. No matter how low the risk, there is still risk, and my chances are as good as yours.. so , do you all think there should be some extra added "Warning" ???

I think they are assuming you know what your doing...ie not buying a big dog for a little apartment kinda thing...not saying it's right or wrong....plus they may just be lazy
