What kind of corals put off the strongest toxins?  I have had some bad reactions to something in my tank. Whenever I have to spend alot of time in my tank aquascaping or fragging, or cleaning, I always get red itchy eyes and sometimes even respiratory issues for a day or so afterward. Im not sure which one(s) could be causing this? I dont have any SPS, but I have a ton of softies and LPS. Anyone experience anything similar?

No Paly's. Wait, do green button polyps count as Paly's? There are alot of those in there. I have afew smaller Zoa colonies. Maybe 100 heads or so total.

h2s can cause respiratory issues and red itchy eyes if you ster up the sand or move rocks that havent been moved in a while its one of the gas our tanks gives off its bad stuff. not saying  thats what is for shore. but it has happend.  coal miners and people with saltwater tanks come in contact with h2s  i heard this and thought i would test it so i mix the
6"sand bed up in my  refuge and put my meter of the water  it read 5 part   just a thought
