I did some research about this cucumber,first is this an option to put in a semi agressive fish only tank with LR ?
will the 1 inch picasso and niger trigger eat him ?
most importantly i read when it's stressed out or dies it can release toxins that can nuke a tank and kill every living thing in it. I need a thing to eat deitrus and fish poop...this invert does...but not at the expensive of losing 5 fish...so can any1 confirm that this fish is dangerous if harrassed by trigger or killed that it will realease harmful toxins ?
is everyone against me getting this invert to eat the fish poop ?

I would not put a sea cucumber in with triggerfish, no. I would say it will likely be of interest, even as a toy, and will probably be killed. It is possible, but relatively unlikely, it wil "nuke" the tank but the toxicity varies be species and I am not positive in this case how toxic it is. But in general I would definitely not do it because I think the cuke would be in big trouble.
