Smile Zoanthids Propagation

A little input on Zoanthids propagation.

First of all I like to say from my experience with zoanthids that they are very hardy and easy to keep under many different types of light, colors will change under different spectrums.
Please be carefull when handling zoanthing or any type of polyps make sure you wash your hands and not have them to the reach of children or any pet when you are fragging, Im linking this thread that I think sad but I think is important for us to be aware of whats going on in our tanks and the type of creatures we are handeling
A warning about toxicity. A MUST read]
NATURAL NONPROTEIN NEUROTOXINS
Palytoxin

with that mentioned I recommend using latex gloves when fragging ang handling if possible.
few items I use for propagation:
-Latex Gloves
-towell
-cutters
-razor blades
-clippers
-gel glue from HD
-epoxy (depending)
-plastic container
-some pieces of rubble rock (from your LFS)

select your piece and cut some polyps if possible without dammaging the tissue, to avoid any later infection or bulnerable spot
