:shocked!: I was chatting with a friend from Hawaii (native of Hawaii) and he is actually shocked that people keep these in an aquarium at all. Glad now that mine were all eaten.

Interesting article about Palytoxin here:

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/no...tore-near-you/


And this quote underneath got me thinking about having Dino's lol

"I should add *naturally occurring* poison. But the number one is maitotoxin, produced by a marine dinoflagellate (type of plankton) called Gambierdiscus toxicus. It has an LD50 of 50ng/kg, making it six times more potent than palytoxin."

If anyone interested, I will take them all of your hands, especially those rare and colorfull ones. For the ugly brown and green button polyp...it's garbage for sure.
