    Just google it. There is a few threads on here as well from members telling about their stories. Zoas and Paly's both pack a serious punch to us humans. The can and will put you in the hospital if you take the proper safety precautions when dealing with them. Some are more potent then others of course.

    in this case i'm almost sure the zoa's were releasing Zooxanthellae because you said it was brown in color the toxin that zoas have is clear in color but don't take chances with it anyway
