Let me know if all else fails ! I'll come on down .

I had to get a little ruff and now have two small BTA in recovery, so there is open season on getting them out of the tank.

Wouldn’t it be easier to keep the anemone and rearrange your tank around it! I believe anemones absolutely have a place in all mixed and reef tanks! I couldn’t personally imagine having a reef without them IMO.
Suggesting moving corals away! :) I love my clowns to much to not give em a home :)

I agree, BTA just get really big and sting everything. Kind of why I am switching to a carpet.

I have seen tanks that are just BTA tanks with clowns.

The perspective on this tank is really messing with me. The BTA is huge, the corals are huge, that black fish in the back looks decent sized, and the yellow tang(?) looks pretty small.

I believe your perspective is accurate! Everyday when look at the tank,I believe that the BTA is gonna come crawling out of the tank on day!

On the same boat with you! I rearranged my corals and rockwork around so that should help for now. I measured the anemone the other day and it came out to 13inchs across!
