Hey reefers, do u notice some coral smell really really bad when u touch their slime or when u just touch them? i personally find bubble coral the smelliest. it has a strong smell that will give me a headache after smelling it.

xenias and anthellias are also very smelly.

what i want to know is, what soap or remedy do u use to effectively wash off the smell? for me, if its mild i'll just use soap. but if its from bubble or xenia, i usually have to wash with colgate a few times...

Dettol hand wash, followed by dishwashing liquid, especially if I was handling zoas before that.

My 1.5ft nano cube

My 24G nano tank (Decommed)

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Wear gloves...? ^_^

thats a good idea. never crossed my mind to wear gloves.

i think wearing gloves are very important. just because most of us do simple 5 min touch up to our tanks doesnt mean we are completely safe from the "dangers" of our reefs ;)

as for nicest smelling coral....hmm. never smelled anything pleasent before :D
