Are zoas toxic? I seem to recall reading they can emit some kind of toxin. I am immune compromised, I can't see this being a good thing. Will need to get some gloves.

Better safe than sorry. I don't seem to have any reactions to corals but I'm not allergic to anything that I have ever come across either so I have no experience in zoa toxicity. It is probably a good habit to always wear gloves in the tank even if you're not touching corals anyways as it not only protects you but also the tank inhabitants from anything that may be on your skin.
