No warning?
After reading the zoanthid toxicity warning threads it made me think...
Why is it that the LFS's don't inform, or have papers up, something, anything... with information to zoanthid or any other coral poisoning? I'm not saying it's bad that they don't , and it's all their fault or anything like that. 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" ???

Well then! Good to hear there are warnings up. I guess I was thinking of Calgary LFS's in particular. I will ask or mention next time I'm in that they should put up a warning or just a note at very least near tanks with zoos in them... It is in the end, pretty dangerous stuff. Especially if your a newbie and your being very careless and not handling them with care, I'd assume your chance of becoming poisoned is greater? Anyhow.. good to hear that there are indeed warnings out there for some.

I was talking in terms of livestock... yeah, we could go into the discussion of all the toxic fishies out there, etc.... and you could easily say "wheres the warning" ?
Anyways, I didn't want to start any kind of argument or debate. It was just a simple thought that came to mind. A warning would save a lot of grief, and would give reefkeepers both new and experienced a better understanding and without a doubt would handle these animals with much more care.

Real world, liability drives a lot of practices. Maybe a LFS would not libel if someone was poisoned, therefore why put up a warning that could potentially cost a sale. Or maybe putting up a warning could be admitting they are aware of a potential hazard so why open that up.
