Species Diversity of Hexacorallia around the Satsunan Islands, Japan [PDF]
Species Diversity of Hexacorallia around the Satsunan Islands, JapanThe Satsunan Islands, in the middle to the north of the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, are located in an important location for biogeography, as there is a shift of marine fauna in this region from subtropical to temperate. However, few have studied about marine biodiversity of this region for many taxa, with exceptions such as fishes.

Palytoxin found in Palythoa sp. zoanthids (Anthozoa, Hexacorallia) sold in the home aquarium trade. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Zoanthids (Anthozoa, Hexacorallia) are colonial anemones that contain one of the deadliest toxins ever discovered, palytoxin (LD(50) in mice 300 ng/kg), but it is generally believed that highly toxic species are not sold in the home aquarium trade.
