Have a hitch hiker paly on one of my rocks tat I didn’t place. It’s green in color.

My question is which kind of green palys are these? It’s next to my bounce mushrooms.

Should I try to get rid of these so they don’t take over the whole rockscape? Are these the very invasive kind and should I worry about palytoxin with these guys?

Best way to get rid of them without taking out the whole rock?

Appreciate any help!

I think they are called nuclear green pally's. Some folks like them, personally I don't. The colour is drab and they multiply rather quickly.
What do you think is the best way to get them out without taking the whole rock out? I’d hate them to over grow my bounce mushrooms.

They can be very invasive in my experience. I've covered them with kalk and paste. I've also plucked them out by hand when I had a back wall covered in them. PPE since you are concerned about paly toxin. Me, not so much just don't rub my face until my hands are washed afterwards.
