People talk about "Palys" being the worse or the only one, but it could be that many times they aren't even identifying it correctly.
Zoanthids in general have toxins and that will include Zoanthus spp., Palythoa spp. and Protopalythoa spp.
We need to be careful with ALL the zoanthids.
I believe there are a few types of toxins the zoanthids use as protection. Palytoxin could be only one of them.
Here we teach the kids not to touch the reef and make sure they have water shoes when fishing on the rocks!
