Am i crazy for wanting to put a BT in my 20 gallon where i already have 5 other corals?

 

[happyhourhero]

Why would that make you crazy?

 

[cody2cannon]

Cause I hear horror stories about them killing other corals and getting sliced and diced in powerheads.

 

[happyhourhero]

I have a lot more than 5 corals and my 2 BT are fine. Keep them happy and they should not move.

How would i keep them happy?

Cover your powerheads, and if you're really worried about it eating your coral, I would decide now which was more important to me.

you could also just keep a close eye on it and try to shuffle things around until he finds a place he really likes.

They can be very finicky, and infuriating. However as with most things in this hobby, if you are extremely patient and are committed to making it work, I have 100% confidence you could make it happen.

How would i keep them happy?

Light, food and flow.

How often do you feed and what do you feed?

 

[happyhourhero]

Place it where it can extend into and shrink away from flow and light.

I never directly feed mine.

BTA rarely moved once it settled. So you cover up the PH until it settled. I believe reducing light and flow help it stays where you placed it. My 2 BTA hasn't moved from their original spot.

Nice work. Pretty tank.

 

[dylana407]

To be clear, you can crank up your light and flow afterwards.

I feed mine small pieces of thawed raw shrimp. They latch onto and eat these pieces immediately so I would think that they are hungry. They do not host any clowns. I cannot imagine not feeding an anemone. Of course I also believe that if it has a mouth, it should be fed. I feed mine 2-3 times per week.
