Sea anemones of the genus Bunodosoma possess along their body column, longitudinally arranged brown-colored vesicles. We have shown that in B. cangicum, these warty structures contain a mixture of potent toxins. This work highlights the neuro-inhibitory effects exhibited by two decapod crustacean sp...
