Will feather duster hurt a BTA? Or vice versa?

[mikebusc]

Just today, I placed a new rainbow bubble tip anemone in my tank and it looked great and took a foot hold very quickly and then started slowly moving to find its spot. I just went to check on it after a few hours and it has placed itself behind my feather duster. And now is all shriveled. Is there something to worry about? Would it need to be moved or just let it be for now?

I highly doubt a feather duster worm could do anything to a BTA, that is unless its an actual feather duster, lol. But, anyways, i also doubt the BTA could do anything to a feather duster.

Though, i have never kept a BTA with a feather duster. I only have a long tentacle, and i can tell for sure, they wont harm each other. Its probably shriveled because it moved. Give it some time.

I was hoping that was the case. Thanks

Anemones are the cats of reefing, they do whatever they want.

I would think the BTA could hurt the feather duster but not the other way around.

Bad pic but it seems to like the location it’s chosen.

That pic is good enough for me! That anemone does look very close to the feather duster worm. If its possible to move either one, definitely do it. Its for the better.
But if it really isnt possible to move either one, then I think it should be ok. But closely monitor each of the 2 every day.

I would love to see that with an orange filter

I’m more worried about the anemone stinging the worm to death! I believe feather dusters have sticky feeder tentacles rather than stingy ones
