    Never heard of it before. Learnt something new!

    Once you've seen marine fish and coral in the sea it doesn't seem right in a small tank, so best to leave it in the sea and avoid dying of palytoxins.

    And I wanted one think I'll just stick to holidays like you say need to start travelling more to find some of the amazing reefs that are out there . But top of my bucket list is shark diving in south Africa or Mexico

    this stories make the news every few months, if you have a tank you know that and your probably more worried out the other inverts biting you or leaving a spine under your skin

    from the look of their tank they only wanted the finding nemo theme, especially since they did not realise what corals are.

    There was a case a few years ago where a guy was fragging his palys and either lost his eye or was blinded by the toxins in them.

    I used to keep marine fish and corals, I used to propagate zoa’s and sell them. Yes there is a risk of getting palytoxin but if you do it safely and use the correct protection then it’s pretty safe. Quite a nice little earner too haha.

    It’s not the first time.
    I heard that the owner wanted the rock the coral was on so was boiling the rock to kill the coral, It’s worrying that these people walk amongst us.
