well fosters say may...my marine biology teacher and other books ive read say no....but u never know. as for what marine depo says yes there is a membrane that they can expel if the die...but it rarely happens and they usually just die and dont release it. i can pick those guys up and prod them for 15mins outa water and all they do is squirt water at u.
 
well, we have conflicting reports about this species then....i know you say rarely happens, but, the point being is that it can happen and people do need to be aware of that if they are going to put one into their tank..I would like to have a cucumber in my reef, but the research i have done on them all give the warning and i would not want the "risk" of it happening if you understand where i am coming from mate...

yup very true man!:)
u juts have to watch out for the sea apples. they rest are no harm and ive tried them all out. a good filter or skimmer will pull out the poison of the rest very quickly. the worst problem with the cucumber is getting them to feed.
 
so if i run activated carbon with the cuke the poison should leave?
Live aquaria says 3" of worm per 20 gallons, and these cukes grow to a foot, isnt that a bit much for a 20 gallon?
 
ok im not going with the package then, thanks all
 
it seems better for 50 gallon+, if i do infact get a larger tank i will probably get the package
