   Can I put one of these in a reef tank?
   
   Live aquaria says they release a toxin that will wipe out my tank."Similar to other boxfish, the Cowfish Longhorn's skin is poisonous and, when threatened, it will release a toxin lethal to other tank members, including other Longhorns."
   Is this true?

   It's true. You can pretty much believe Live Aquaria.

   it will eat any inverts you have in the tank so no crabs, snails, feather dusters or clams. there is also a chance that it will nip at corals. but on the good side they are fairly slow swimmers so if it starts to cause problems it wont be too hard to catch
