I want to add a mag to my tank. I have 2 BTA. If the mag settles next to the BTA, will it sting and kill the BTA?
 
Not sure I know what a mag is. But if their both mobile inverts I doubt they would settle next to each other. And if they did most likely one would move after being stung
 
Mag is short for H. Magnifica formerly known as ritteri.
 
I have both in my tank fir years and Never had an issue with the 2 fight. Not saying it can't happen. But I wouldn't worry about your bta and mag fighting to the death
 
Thanks Anthony. That's what I was hoping to hear.
 
I saw a chart about 18 months ago that showed which nems were more likely to be or not be successful when housed together, but for the life of me cannot find it now
 
The compatibility chart is in this subforum's stickies!
 
My Mag and RBTA would sting each other. Neither moved because of it, but I did notice the tentacles sticking together, then retracting...
