The paly's?

They spread VERY FAST and can release toxins i you try to remove them, I would say they are bad to have.

 

[Dsnakes]

I wouldn't say bad, however, they can be very invasive. I keep mine on an island rock to keep them contained.

Fast growing, to the point of being somewhat invasive... and WEAR GLOVES if you're going to handle them, but no... they're not a 'bad' thing. I've got a patch of mint green palys, they're good for covering areas where nothing much wants to grow

yes the paly i got it on rock from begining and it grew fast so i liked it so i spread it on some other rocks didnt know how bad they were to have should i be consernd dont know the id of them

i guess if mabe i made bad move i feel like i was helping it spread i didnt mind how it looks just not sure how poisionis it is as long as i dont kill it or scrub it off the rock and wash my hands when dealing with it should i be fine?

I think you'll find that the majority of mixed reef tanks end up with some palys. They're great ground cover in a reef Don't panic about it. As to how poisonous it is... enough that you want to avoid exposure, not enough to worry about having it in your home.
