This specific paly is pretty invasive. It seems to be on your rock work. I would take measures to isolate/contain it immediately since they are very difficult to remove

Thanks for the confirmation

I pulled all the rocks I can find with it and put them out in the shed.

I'm taking this opportunity to re-rockquascape with new rock :)

If you're concerned about palytoxin, soaking the palys and rocks in a bleach solution is supposed to neutralize the toxin
