I think it's still there, though some of the links and pics have gone out-of-date and don't work anymore. Funny as *&^% too. As for dangerous sea creatures, I got stung by a jellyfish at Galveston recently. My first thought was "It itches", then I reached down to scratch it and Oh Boy! I should NOT have done that! Talk about a terrible pain! That sucked though I can only imagine what it must be like to be attacked by one of the other creatures listed...

You, you.....you'll get your's mister.
As far as my limited knowledge, the blue ring has the most deadly bite in the sea. You would be dead within minutes if CPR was not given immediately, and then basically life support until the effects wear off. I don't believe these creatures should EVER be seen in the hobby, but I have seen a few at my LFS...with a warning, but still...........

I'd probally freak out if I seen a blue ring at a lfs!

Puffy,
Thanks for the explanation. Molecular chemistry and Chemical interaction is cool stuff. I always liked chemistry in school.. Nuclear chemistry just happens to suck though. Way too much red tape and people watching over yeah.

We were on a cruise a couple of years ago and I sat on a jellyfish... OUCH! The ships doctor had my husband take care of the area
