    No, not neccecarly but when it comes to dealing with corals, we should all be aware of the risks... just check the thread and the terrible experiences of some of us... At least I will wear gloves from now on ... never did it before but after hearing all these stories, I think we should wear gloves at all times!!

    I use my hands when adding fish to the tank. I feel it's less stressful than netting them. Not sure if the gloves are thick enouch to prevent a puncture from a butterfly fish or foxface though...

    Again, I think when getting new fish it's ok but when handling the rock or corals gloves are a must!!
