Interesting experiment by a Teacher but these 3rd graders are propagating a dangerous polyp ... Zoanthids .. Caution is certainly in order here

The reason for including the caution is that they are working with Zoanthids and as we all know they contain one of the most dangerous toxins known : Palytoxin .. there are plenty of horror stories about this toxin on the Net about people who were not careful when handling Zoas and Palys and ended up in the Hospital or just plain sick, and some even ended up in the ER. so watch out when you handle them yourself
