BTA and corals

[demonspeedn]

What would be good corals to place next to a BTA? It seems like everytime mine stretches, it kills whatever it touches and the rocks look bare 12" around it.

 

[Mr. Bill]

None. That's what anemones do, and that's why some people won't have one in a reef tank. Corals are only resistant to stings from their own species.

 

[demonspeedn]

I was afraid of that.

I wonder if a GSP or Xenia could handle it. Nothing seems to stop them

 

[ash9965]

of course yuu could get a variety of different colored anemones to spruce things up. I have 3 different colored RBTA's and one sebae along with a variety of corals no issues for me so far as my Nems luckily have stayed put from the first day in the tanks

I have a Sabae as well. Both stay put, but the BTA likes to stretch out and it's a good 15" in diamater. So there's a lot of bare rock around it.

Anyone one have any comments on this guy? Healthy? 1 week in tank rainbow rose Bts they said?

 

[Lance M.]

Looks similar to one of mine. You may want to start your own thread asking this question, including your water parameters, tank details, equipment, etc. It looks ok.

I placed blue symposium near my rbt. It spreads rather quick and is a beautiful blue. When it closes up, it’s still a beautiful blue. Look to the right of the rbt.

I wish mine stayed that small.
