Search on the web for pictures of button polyps, zoanthids or palythoa.

They are a soft coral but not all in the species are toxic.

Precisely why I bought gloves... not use only for bristleworm protection, rock cuts, potential tang slashing, angry clownfish bites but also for accidental coral poisoning.... knowing how often I get cuts on my hands (handiwork, dog biting me too hard while playing, fishing accidents).... the only problem, I can get lazy to use gloves... now I should be more consistent.. for safety's sake.

And I will throw away dead corals and throw away paper towels after I wipe my hands off them asap!

(My dog loves to shred any papaer he finds on the floor) and wash my rags asap too!

Phang... this is one coral you shouldn't frag!

Hmmm......

Was reading Anthony Calfos book...... he did mentioned how he actually got sick through palytoxin....

through wiping water off his face with a towel used from fragging these corals....

His lips and taste went dumb for a whole day....!!!!

The coral is Polythoa......
