    wow, theres something I would've never known. It's pretty crazy to think something like that can pack such a wallop. so...SPS produce sweepers and LPS produce toxins or is it the other way around

    SPS and LPS use nematocysts (stingers) and use sweepers to deliver their weapon. Soft corals - leaters, polyps and mushrooms emit toxins, aka chemical warfare. It's a jungle out there and not for the weak or faint of heart!
