Palythoa toxica, Ostreopsis
- ( Back to T:TDYK )
- ( Article history links: Palythoa toxica
- Ostreopsis )
- ... that there is a connection between a taboo rock pool on Hawaii and beachgoers becoming ill in Italy??
- Reviewed: Nicola De Giosa
- Comment: Alternative hooks welcome! The QPQ is a two article hook.

- There may be some better potential hook, but first... what source provides the "connection between" in ALT0? EEng 16:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- None. It's implicit because Ostreopsis is involved in both. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:13, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hmmm... OK, give me a day or two on this. I think we need to work The Seaweed of Death into it somehow. If I forget ping me again. EEng 17:37, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, it's not a seaweed, but one of the Zoantharia. I know that there have been amateur aquarium keepers who became sick from it after placing the animal into saltwater fish tanks, and I could probably track down a source if that would be helpful. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:33, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- When I said that, I was thinking of Palythoa. Ostreopsis is closer to seaweed, but it's a single cell microorganism. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:37, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

- I have to admit I'm stymied here. I want to say something like
- Beachgoers became ill in Italy because of something in the seaweed of death
- but I can't wrap my head around the osteoporosis and the cryptozoology and the organelles and so on. What links the two events, really? Template:U, can you fashion something? EEng 03:04, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
