New Tank! ...and first post!
From wath I know most kuke that are not bright colored like red,pink or yellow are ok and not poison as long as they live BUT if he get sucket in a power head there great chance that he will nuke you tank they have a substance I dont remeber the name but when release in the tank will consume all the oxigen and kill everyting around
They are realy good to clean up the sand and a great addition to a reef tank but be realy carefull , even an ordinary strainer that come with most power head will not protec from geting in the propeler of the power head
if he die and you not see it he will slowly decompose and you will probably not notice it
but for the colored one it is another story and I realy not recoment them
other ting to get in consideration is that your have a new tank and if you dont have big knowlege of saltwater aquarium he will probably die in your tank soon. They need good quality water to live and a new tank will kill it soon
conclusion you beter give it to a more experience reefer who will take care of it until you reef tank will stabilize (it take at least 3-4 month the more it better and I recomend you more 7-9 month )
