Does xenia release toxins when it dies?

I have no hard evidence but believe that Xenia spp. corals are toxic to some degree. When bothered they slime something fierce. My view would be that running carbon regularily on a system with any soft corals is a must for long term tank health. There has been much debate on this issue over the years so as usual; YMMV.
