Hi Fabrice - it's easy, just don't handle any corals. Grin. Sorry,
not very helpful. This is a pretty widespread problem - all the skin
falls off my hands the first day out collecting zoanthids - and I
know lots of coral people with the same problem. Come to think of it
I know clam and prawn people too. The simple answer is just to wear
surgical gloves - I use nice bright blue nitrile ones.
Bill.
