Poisonous?

Are these okay to have?

Oscar47f · Mar 9, 2017

Yes they are ok to have they are polyps and are only dangerous if you ingest them, boil them, handle then without the proper equipment and have open wounds. Nothing to be really worried about generally though.

You could probably also try to trade it with someone else. Or sell it even.

I have some of these in my tank. They can spread, so keep an eye on them. They don't spread very quickly though, and are otherwise pretty easy to keep.

True. Another question. Whats your guys thoughts on this. I have an empty 29 gallon tank with freshwater running in it now. Can i put salt in it and rock and let it cycle and use it?

Most soft corals and corals in general use chemicals and toxins of some sort lol don't be nervous you'll be fine

It would be like some kind of green coral salad (in appearance only).

Is it clean freshwater? You'd want RODI over tap water of course. Save you some algae trouble.
