Is it okay for my Haitian anemone to be right beside/touching my bubble tip anemone?
He moved beside the bta yesterday.

I’m wondering if my clownfish won’t go to my bta because the Haitian anemone can sting them?

And before anyone says the bta is bleached, I purchased it this color and they had 4 more this color.
So I’m wondering if this is actually bleached or if there are bta that are white?

It looks like that bta is actually starting to get neon green spots on it that haven’t been there.
Not sure if it’s getting healthier and changing colors or what’s going on.

You haven’t posted any pictures

Any most anemones will move if they don’t like their spots like when they get stung so not to worried about that

The Haitian can sting and can kill others, and not just a BTA.

This nem prone to moving around making it kinda, not reef safe IMM.

Hopefully it will upload now. Not sure what the issue today is with it not letting me post the photos.
I even posted the photos with my original post.

I just tried to post the photos again. All it shows it 3 white dots loading and it never finished uploading.

Sorry guys🤦🏼‍♀️

But pretty much the bta is on the rock and the Haitian anemone is touching it right beside it.

They’re both opened up but it’s just weird.

I see that.
I’d keep them separate or ditch the Haitian.
Will likely wreak havoc over time.
They move a lot those Hatians

A white BTA is a bleached BTA.

I’ve kept Haitian anemones with BTAs no issues , they have touched and don’t show stress/ I have also have H . Aurora touching LTAs with no issue. I thought my Haitian anemone was white , it turned out to be bleached and started to turn green. You have to run a lot of carbon with multiple anemones changed regularly. Also a fan of chemo pure blue
