Different BTAs and RFA compatibility?

[PugsAndFish]

I picked up a Black Widow BTA today. Can I keep the Black Widow BTA with other types of BTAs?

I don't know the name of my other BTA but I think it is a Rainbow Rose BTA. Here is a pic I found that looks similar to mine:

How about RFAs? Ideally, I'd like to keep everything in a single anemone box.

You could keep the rainbow and black widow together but in a nem box I wouldn’t keep the RFAs and the BTAs together.

Hi James, why do you say that about the RFA and BTA? Not looking to contradict or argue with you, just looking to learn more. I have around 20 btas in a 50 gallon - with a single rfa. I have been wondering if the rfa was causing issues - but have no way of removing it.

I agree with James. In a nem box the rfa and bta's would be too close and would sting each other with the rfa losing. In a bigger tank there would be no problems unless they moved close to each other in which case one or the other could move. I've got over 50 rfa's and 2 bta's in a 120g with no problems.

Ik this is an old thread, but I have a 11.4 gallon cube tank, and I rlly rlly rlly want my clown to host an anemone, I have a rfa, but can I get a Rbta too?
