Zoa / Palythoa ID

[GJMAN]

Hey everyone, new here- hopefully I’m doing this right and my pics will load.

Recently picked up a tile with clover polyps, Xenia, and some Zoas/ palys. I didn’t really think much of the zoas/ palys as I had them years ago in another tank, but I’ve been reading up on palytoxin, and considering that this is a nano and will grow out quickly, I may decide to remove the piece.

If anyone could let me know if these are in fact the super toxic kind, that would be great!

I can’t help with the question, but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some assistance

I have something closely resembling that which was given to me, he called it a Parratrooper paly but I have no idea if that is a true trade name.
It grows well and is very hardy. I also got them because I was a Parratrooper lol

Thanks for the replies. I’m now thinking it’s palythoa grandis.

In any case I will be removing them for peace of mind before they make it onto the rocks. I don’t want to have to wear gloves and goggles when I’m messing around in there.
