Coral story headlines Fox News

Palytoxin sends family, dogs, neighbors, plumber, 2nd cousin and an old girlfried to hospital. I didn't know xenia contained this toxin. God knows I've had tanks full in the past.

Man warns pet owners after fish tank releases 'second deadliest' poison,
hospitalizes 10

Thats what happens when you boil toxins indoors. Try it with any toxin... Try burning a rubber tire indoors and see what happens to you...

Xenia does not contain palytoxin. The guy (and reporter) are clueless.

You are correct sir, I agree. Look at the lower right corner picture of this guy's tank. That rock is covered in paly's. My guess is they probably had spread onto the rock he boiled mixed in with the xenia.
