Paly toxin is associated with Palythoa coral and some zoa and not favia.

Favia is fine to touch. Palys and Zoas are the culprits. Don't hesitate to ask questions we are all here to help

Welcome! Palytoxin only is in palythoas and some zoas as mentioned before. Almost all corals have toxins, but lots you don't need to worry about.
