use a flat top screw driver and insert it into one of the channels, twist the screw driver and wala......if any skin is attached use a sharp razor to cut the left over skin.
this is the best way with little damage to polyps.
ps....palytoxin is just that......."paly" toxin

Caution should be used at any time when handling marine inverts that being said I couldn't agree more with this statement.
This compound is not found in zoas & has only been isolated in a handful of palythoa species (notibly
Palythoa toxica ).
I wear protection to protect myself from the unknown, not the unexistant overly scapegoated "palytoxin" that everyone magically gets and then recovers from.
