Might have to wait and see what the other members have to say. Im stuck on this one, but if I had to guess, I think that the BTA would be the last one standing. Luna | |

if it were me I wouldn't chance it either way. I would move the hydno if at all possible. That would be way easier than trying to move the bta as you could injure it.

i went ahead and made room on the other side of the tank for the hydno just wondering what would you say would be a safe distance to keep it away from other coral? do they use sweeper tentacles i only had it acouple of months thought once is saw sweepers not sure though this was a freebie its about 2-2.5 inches | |

Hydnophora and Catalaphyllia are the only two corals that can stack up against an anemone! Actually, the two coral species will kill the anemone due to their potent sting.
I would get rid of the hydnophora if you plan on maintaining the anemone, though you pose a risk of having other corals getting injured or killed if the anemone moves around in your tank. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

the bta has been pretty much in the same area since it arrived w/the rose bta but iam just amazed at how big it got and how fast it got that big for now i moved the hydno and will have to see what the bta does hate the thought of trying to get it out, its on a main piece of rock but not real close to anything now | |
