No warning?

My Father worked for the Court.This part reminded me of something he told me.He said if a dog owner has a sign saying Beware of Dog.It only means the owner is aware his dog may bite.If you're dumb enough to walk up to the fence and try to pet the dog,and get bitten.The owner might still be charged.

Not sure how it works with LFS,but maybe no warning is in thier best interest.

I think Chad said it well, by no means am I saying that because there is no warning the LFS's are liable. That's definitely not what I'm getting at. I guess in short I'm hoping to get a "friendly heads up" posted so people have knowledge of potential dangers. But, when we're talking money , I can see why the LFS's wouldn't put them up.. I guess I'm trying to go in the opposite direction here... be friendly to your fellow reefers... put a little note up by the zoo's or something.. if you've explained properly and said it in a way so in the end the reefer is saying "just always wear gloves, and i'll be fine..." what's the big deal there? I wouldn't be chased away from buying them... I'd be thinking "damn, I'm sure glad I knew that...." Because that's probably what 99% of us said after reading the online articles. Not only is it good to wear gloves for zoanthids, but anything in the tank.. it's good to do in general. Not just for us, but all our corals... think of all the dirt and oils on our skin ..
