Unknown Coral

I bought this coral at a LFS and he told me the name of it but It completely slipped my mind. Just trying to figure out what it was so I can get a little more information on it than the LFS provided.

They are a type of paly
Very easy to care for, though it can spread fast and overcrowd a tank.
They are poisonous, so use caution (gloves, mask, goggles) whenever working with them.

Palythoa sp. or brown button polyps.

 

[ZombieEngineer]

Those are palys, aka brown button polyps.

Be very very careful with those. Those are one of the kinds that contains a lot of Palytoxin, which is one of the most toxic chemicals known to man. Worse than cyanide.
