    OFK - The RBTA has the potential to sting corals in either tank if it wanders. The difference is right now my 125 has about 60? corals in it. There is no doubt it will take a day or two or ten for the RBTA to find a spot it likes. In the meantime, it could obviously do a number on existing corals. As far as which would win (SPS vs. RBTA), AFAIK RBTA all the way.

    Thanks again :)

    I voted the 50 marshall. You have way to many nice corals and fish that would be put at risk in the 125. At least you can "build" around the nem in the 50. I know it can move in any tank but you have a lot more unoccupied real estate in the 50. It's always a gamble with a nem but IMO, it's to much of a risk in your awesome reef sir.

    Thanks Dennis, I appreciate your thoughts. That is my main concern right now; risk of existing livestock.

    Agreed. In fact, I've never heard of any coral killing a nem; it's always been the other way around when the two meet.
