Aluminum grippers in reef

I have used some alum tongs to catch my coral banded shrimp with no adverse effects.
However I would use plastic If you have them. |

As long as it is a quick in and out you should be perfectly fine. It's continued exposure that becomes a problem with metals.

 And yeah, i have stainless steel forceps that i just wipe off real quick after removing. You'll see a little surface rust spot here or there but no issues.
