Are these the Palythoas that spread like crazy and are highly toxic?

[Steverd]

I have these green Zoas or Palythoas in two of my tanks that spread like crazy.
Are these the super toxic Palys that no one wants? I say they spread like "duckweed".
I feel they might be: Nuclear Green Palys

It are all over, but I think it's time to start removing them.

What do you think?

those are paly’s.

 

[Steverd]

those are paly’s.

Would you say all Paly's are toxic?
Would you try to remove them from your tanks?
They just grow SO FAST and not very colorful in the tank.
Thank you

I have captain jerk palys on a rock for over a year, I got them with 8 or 9 polyps and there are about 40 or so now, they grow about as fast as some of my zoas. I like them and am not too concerned about toxins.
If they grow too much, I'll pull the rock and cull a few.

Those look like Captain Jerks to me, they grow pretty fast sometimes.. But put on an island rock, they are nice to look at. Not sure on quantity of palytoxin, but I bet they have some.

They do. I just watch a guy on YouTube trying to remove this exact paly from a rock and nearly getting sprayed as soon as he grabbed the first one.

I have some Palythoa Grandis in my tank that ive heard are fairly toxix but i have never had issues with them. They are maybe 2-3" diameter.
