How can i go about caring for these without getting poisoned by the toxins?Welcome to Reef 2 Reef!!, Mike
It's a type of (Zoa) zoanthids or (Play) palythoa
Need to be careful with those. They could have toxins stored up.
thanks for the advice, I was regretting it but now I'm not that scared of my purchaseAppear to be Palys. . . . . No cautions. Best is to wear gloves, latex or ones as pictured below. I simple wash my hands well after touching or transfer. I use my aqua Gloves if moving it around. Simply keep your hands out of your eyes/face and you'll be ok.

d a m n well i might just toss it out then hahaWell,
If they are plays???, and only on one rock. I would toss them.
Depending on the specs:
Some plays can go off, and can smoke an entire reef in less then 24 hours.
Palys*
tossed it out my dude, I'll take your word on it I aint takin chances LOLNot sure, there closed up and could be zoas.
Have no prob. with zoas in a reef, but your first shots did look like plays, to me too.
I have quite a few palys with NO issuedang I guess ill throw em out, only a 15 buck loss
Rip and i got them for 10 bucks at lfs. I think ill just go with montipora sigh...Omg I wouldn’t have thrown those out! They look like mohawk’s, they are moderately valuable and really pretty. Nothing to be afraid of with palys or zoas. Oh man that breaks my heart you threw it away
I see, good to know. I also have these not sure what type these are thoughI'd have kept them myself also, easy to keep and care for. Had them for a very long time in my tank.
