Seems to be very skewed and incomplete article. 1/2 the space about dangers and none about feeding, care, distribution, biology or life history???

Information about Palytoxin is extremely incorrect. Only a few species of palythoa have been shown to actually contain palytoxin. Many people mistake symptoms experienced by some while handling zoanthids for palytoxin poisening. Many so-called experts in the marine hobby make large unscientifically supported claims about the common presence of palytoxin in everyday zoanthids.

124.125.253.171 (talk) 11:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)The article lacks in diagramatic briefings about the structure and morphology of the zoanthid. Id like u to furnish details related to this topic!!![reply]

The term 'zooxanthellate' used in the introduction is inconsistent with the reading (j. sprung) that i've done on corals. Those which harbor zooxanthellae are referred to as 'hermatic,' while those that do not are called 'ahermatic.' Gibsepisg (talk) 05:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I checked myself, and the correct terms are hermatypic and ahermatypic. Also, since these corals are commonly collected and reccommended to novice reef hobbyists, they certainly deserve an aquarium care section. I work for a LFS, and, though i'm not an expert on corals, I do have access to excellect sources, so i'll try to create a section before too long, as long as there are no objections to this or the other change.
