Most LPS corals cause my hands/fingers to go numb/tingly and slightly swollen. Particularly Euphyllia sp and the various brain corals. Most Plays will do this to me as well, but most Zoas don't (regardless of color). In fact, if I spend an hour or more messing around in the tank (stacking rock, etc) my hands/fingers will go numb/tingly and fairly swollen and will actually cause me a slight bit of asthma. The only time I ever wear gloves is when I am handling live rock at an LFS. I do wear safety glass anytime I am fragging though as I think a shot of plain ole saltwater to the eye would be irritating enough, let alone a shot of slimy coral saltwater.

Nothing to disprove it, nothing to prove it either!

One thing is sure, HE SHOULD go see a doctor.

don't you agree?

The problem with this type of thread is that the OP simply assume that it was caused by handling zoanthids and he comes here and say so as if it was the true story, but without having done proper test and having consulted a doctor, it is just pure assumption. This is how myths multiply and survive.

If he go see a doctor and have a blood test done that confirm playtoxin poisoning then it will be proven. Until he does that, no proof and still a possible rick that something else very bad is on its way.

If he touched the zoanthids with his right hand (he probably have)..then why his right arm was not affected as well? sure... I would be more worried that something else might have been the cause.

You have 0 facts stating that zoas don't cause tingling in your hand after touching them and that it's only the brown ones.

+1 for glasses.
I was scrapping an aiptasia off a rock and of all places it landed in my freaking eye.
My eye was red, irrated and hurt like a son of a gun for 3 days.
Looked like I was on a bender and needed to go to AA for a while.
