Palys and Zoas have differing levels of toxicity. I have heard of people being affected by Palythoa grandis. I was poisoned by the light blue Palythoa toxica. The CDC report and several other incidents were caused by the exact variety.My wife is a sucker for palys & zoas. I can care less about them and reading all these threads make me wonder if it's worth the health risk? Is this isolated to payls only or zoas can release enough toxins? I have 2 colonies of palys that I can donate (or kill) but my wife loves her zoas garden.
Here is an article where Jake Adams labeled it a "very bad coral." As much as Jake loved coral, you know he was trying to make a point.
