st9z November 28, 2007 Share November 28, 2007 Silly topic but I have to ask.... I was cutting up zoas yesterday off the rock and one of them spatter reddish brown goo :( is it "zoa blood"? Same thing happen when I was cutting up mushrooms. Also what kind of knife would you recommend to cut a zoa clean off in one swipe? I tried the pumpkin cutter and its not very effective.

I'd say it's not blood persay, at least not in the literal sense of the term I think you're using. It is fluid, it did come from inside the animal, but blood, probably not really.

Guest 120 Gallons December 22, 2007 Share December 22, 2007 Be careful not to get that on you! It is real nasty stuff! Yeah be careful, enough of it can kill you (From Zoa's). Calfo mentions it in his propagation book. He got a tiny bit of it in his mouth on 3 separate occasions. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
