Zoos are poisionous and if handled improperly can be fatal.

Are they safe to handle bare handed? or is it best to wear gloves or some other form of protection when handling them.
They definately can pack a punch.
Ive been wondering about this topic for a while, what other organisms in our reef tanks are potentially dangerous?.

Eric Bornemon has mentioned about fragging zoo's and then placing the knife/razor in his mouth and then losing sensation in his lips...  |

All of them in one way or another. Although most of them are not harmful to humans unless maybe you decided to eat them.
