Toxic critter in a closed system is best kept in a species-only tank, imho. I would not risk it or a cuke.

They definitely need a dedicated setup. I have heard success stories and they are certainly doable, but you do not want them in your typical mixed reef. Aside from the whole toxicity issue, they get rather large and will knock stuff over all throughout your tank. They are certainly gorgeous enough creatures to warrant their own tank and would fare best in one.
