jestep Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I posted this on another forum. If you look at the pictures in the report, the identified toxic zoas/paly's (C,D,E,F) are all greenish with distinct marks extending from the mouth. Surprisingly, none of the other green zoas had the marks on them and none were more than slightly toxic. Not that it's a definite or anything but it might be wise to steer clear of coral that resemble these. Obviously they haven't tested everything and even identifying different species has to be near impossible, but if you know what might actually be toxic, it's a start.
