Default Cucumbers Reefsafe?

I was looking at a Sea cucumber and was wondering if they are reef safe? Has anyone known one to kill the whole tank?
Thanks

Technically not reef safe, some people will tell you differently. You have to cuc proof the tank to reduce any possibility of it dying, spawning, or getting stuck on a pump, not worth the risk in my opinion.

I had a pink hawaiian when i first started, new nothing about nothing, anyhow after
a lot of reading and research i freaked one day when i noticed hugh gashes in it. I
quickly had a panic attack. And took him out he was totally cool though. But I have
to agree i wouldn't do it again.

I've had tiger tails over two years, no problems. They stay on the bottom so no worry with getting stuck in power heads. they have actually split a couple of times.

I too, have had tiger tails for years in a reef with no problems, except for not seeing them for months and wondering if they where still alive.
