just wondering, is there any kind sea cucumber will release less toxin when they die? or some sea cucumber that will not die that easily (tougher than anemone)
my LFS told me there is a kind of sea cucumber that looks like a rock, and it wont release toxin when it die.
anyone know such sea cucumber exist?

btw, someone told me tiger tail sea cucumber is safe (Holothuria sp.) they dont release toxin when they die (only fire their gut out, which may be poisonous for fish) and they also siftsand for leftovers (yeah my sand are pertty dirty, stir up lot of dusty leftovers)
