SURVIVOR - edible items

I am trying to get on SURVIVOR for the 4th time. This is really outrageous, but are any of our reef livestock corals, inverts., etc... edible?

I was just wondering just in case - you never know!

I don't know of any that would be edible but some certainly are deadly !

In Japan some urchins are a delicacy.

Re: SURVIVOR - edible items

Aren't sea urchins supposed to be some delicacy food? I know catching it without getting pricked would be one thing.
