    I decided to get an anemone for my 55, it has been set up for about 10 months, and all params are perfect and have been stable for a while. I got a baby GBTA from my LFS its about the size of a half dollar and it only cost 7.50 so I figured I would try it since if it does move it doesnt have much area to sting all my other corals. Does anyone have any tips or anything for baby BTA, is it harder to keep since it is a baby? I attached a picture so y'all can see it.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It is mostly likely a clone, so it probably has a fully developed system. You may want to feed it every couple weeks, otherwise it looks healthy. Good lighting and water conditions it should do well. You will know you have a problem if it starts to wander.

    Strong light, med-strong flow, pytoplankton and some meaty foods (shrimp, fish, clam) every couple of weeks.

    Well I might have already lost him, I woke up this morning and he was stuck to the side of my K3. I put him in a QT to see if he makes it and doesn't pollute my tank. Fingers are crossed.
