What are these and do they have polytoxin?

Im. NOt sure the names but i feel like these are toxic because they kill most corals that are next to them

those look like green nuclear palys, and yes they have polytoxin

Brownish colored with green accents.. Palys for sure. I have handled them before without the palytoxin issue.. I read they have to be exposed to severe circumstances to have any kind of toxic , harming side effects.

They are all green from my eyes. I was pulling out a frag and the paly was half attatched and the paly ripped. Im curious if im going to possibly get sick or worse off my tank will get killed by the poisoning

I have a ton of those in my tank and have fragged them without issue including cutting them in the tank and have never had any issue. I would guess they probably have palytoxin, but it’s best just to treat every play/zoa as though they are toxic.

I don't think you need to worry. The few cases of palytoxin poisonings were due to directly handling of the coral colony, or cleaning and boiling preexisting live rock with palys on them.

Most of the side effects were about vision and breathing issues.
