How do you know it is palythoa? What should i look for if i exchange this coral so i won't end up with palythoa again? I am not sure if my LFS will take it back.. HOw bad they are toxinwise? R my fish or other coral are in danger? Am i get sick? How bad? I think i handle that coral couple of times and nothing happen to me so i am confused now but it's better safe then sorry..i guess.. Thanks Nate for your help |

Just wash up after you handle them, and wear gloves if you ever frag them. Zoa sites Ebay.com....search for Live Coral http://www.eastcoastclams.com http://www.thesea.org [/href]http://www.frags.org[/href] There are alot more, I just have to dig up the addresses again.....another good site for online coral purchases is http://www.cquarium.com |

pufferpunk![]() Big Fish Posts: 462 Kudos: 395 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Feb-2003 ![]() ![]() | On my forum that wouldn't matter. I would really like to be able to ID the corals I'm interested in (newbie here), especially when folks are selling them online. Anywhere I can look for IDs? |

Calilasseia![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003 ![]() ![]() | Returning to palytoxin ... I gather that the Palythoa polyps store these in their tisues as a defence against being eaten. Has there been any reports that these polyps deliver palytoxin to a target creature stung by the cnidoblasts? Because that would constitute a BIG risk if this was the case, particularly if the cnidoblasts were capable of delivering a sting that penetrated the outer epithelial la Incidentally, anyone who wants to see a palytoxin molecule, take a look at this PDF document]http://users.ox.ac.uk/~magd1571/finalpage/3HandoutB.pdf#search=%22palytoxin%22[/link]. Palytoxin is one amazing molecule - it has 64 steroecentres, and 7 points of geometrical isomerism, which means that there are around 2.3 x 10^21 possible stereoisomers ... and, amazingly, it has been the subject of a total organis synthesis effort in the laboratory ... another illustration of the molecule, and more information on its effects, can be found [link=here. ![]() |
