Palytoxin Warning: Please exercise caution when handling Palythoa species, including Purple People Eater Palythoa, as they can produce palytoxin, a potent toxin that can be harmful if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin. Always wear gloves when handling this coral and ensure that your aquarium is kept in a safe and controlled environment. 2 polyps
Care Guide
Zoanthids (and their close relatives, Yuma/Palythoa) are colonial polyp corals prized for bold, saturated color and rapid spread. They’re hardy and adaptable to a wide range of lighting and flow, making them an excellent choice for reefers at any experience level — though as always, handle with gloves since zoanthids can contain palytoxin.


Placement: Lower to middle rockwork in a well-lit, low-flow area. Handle with gloves — palytoxin risk.
