I have them in my tank. They spread like wildfire so keep them away from the rest of your rocks.
That said, assume all palys/zoas are toxic to be safe. You can only really get poisoned while fragging them or working with them out of water (and that is if you take no precautions). Symptoms are usually quite mild and the poison is not usually as deadly as you think (though once again, be careful).

They grow like a weed but are not dangerous.

Thank you so much for your replay.
I'm not planning to frag them or take them of the water,

They grow like a weed but are not dangerous.

Thank you

Keep them isolated on 1 rock if you can. Great beginner coral. I had them growing on my overflow and would just scrape them into a net when they got overgrown. I never had a problem with toxins but I run carbon anytime I remove softies.

dont eat them...you should be ok

 

[fishguy242]

most important don't touch eyes/face after handling

They are called "green implosions" and are NOT toxic.

They spread like crazy and are considered invasive, but I've seen toxicity tests on them and they are not paly toxin carriers.

Thank you guys.
I really appreciate your help.
My father is safe, at least as long as he decides not to do palythoa soup I guess
Thank you.
