Leathers (toxic?) & LPS Can I keep these together?

[knockout]

I read throughout the forums how some keep these together but after reading the guidelines in the link below I am now really confused and not sure which way to go!!!

here is part of the info on the link:
General: Leathers are great corals for beginner aquarists or anyone looking to keep more low maintenance corals. Note that when stressed or introduced into a new tank, they may close up and not open up again for several days or even weeks. This might also happen right before the coral sheds. Stronger water flow will decrease the "shut down" time before shedding. This periodic shedding of the outer layer of cells is a normal occurrence and is thought to help keep algae and/or other corals from growing over them.
It's important to keep the toxicity issue in mind. Someone hoping to keep larger polyped stony corals at a later time should think carefully about adding leathers to their tanks, especially those in the genus Sacrophyton which are known to be particularly toxic.
Oh did I say I am new to corals!!!

certain leathers r more prone to release toxics into the water. for example, cabbage and devils hand. some r ok and tend to be peaceful such as toadstool. i keep 1 big toadstool with sps and lps. i do run carbon about 2 weeks out of the months. leathers in general will only release toxic if they feel threaten or intruded upon.

What he said. I would recommend running carbon as well if you would like to include leathers in your reef. Just be sure to do water changes weekly/biweekly, as the carbon will remove trace elements as well.
