While I appreciate the effort, the document has errors.

Firstly - Identification visually, as to which specimens have the toxin and which don't is not reasonably possible and in-fact a DNA test is required.

The FAQ section has the logic reversed and is contradictory for many of the "TRUE" or "FALSE" facts

IMHO this document creates as much danger as it prevents. Sorry to be that guy, but it needs a good bit of work and clarification.

Hello! No worries, we are all entitled to our opinion and I appreciate you taking the time to read the article. I agree that you can’t visually identify which palys have the toxin (as stated in the article) and since most of us don’t have access to DNA testing, I broken out categories to help people identify possible corals. I am quite happy with the FAQs section and I think it is clear throughout the article the danger of this toxin. I hope the article helps people be informed and feel confident working in their tanks. Happy Reefing!

Please see your myths section.

I think the word “Truth” is meant to convey “the statement above is a myth, the statement that follows is the truth. In that context, it makes s sense.

Unfortunately, people will read the statement as “False or True” and then see the word TRUE. It is counter intuitive to the typical TRUE or BUSTED format that most people are accustomed to. Format or wording adjustment would help clarity.

I am hesitant to be so picky, but as I stated the article feels a bit lacking in clarity for such a serious subject.

I hesitated to post at all, but the ambiguity in the article promoted me to take a look at your posts, other articles and site. You have cranked out and posted a pile of these quick articles very recently and launched a podcast. Forgive me if I am wholly off base, but it feels like this is more aimed at coordinated SEO, backlinks and interest generator for you endeavor than anything else.
