    What is a good metod to use to keep a BTA in place until it decides to atacth itself to the rock. I do not want him to float around and run the risk of getting sucked up by the powerheads

    Try finding a spot with a crevasse to it, that might help.

    Wow he actually almost immediately attatched himself to a rock! I am very excited. I did see however one of my little emerald crabs latched on to one of his tentacles until I poke him with some forceps. Anyone forsee a problem?

    if you have a sump then i suggest putting the emerald in there. if you fed the nem recently then he might be hungry (the crab). if not then just watch it and if it gets bad. give the crab away.

    Okie Doke. I actually got rid of some bigger ones because those little buggars started munching on my green star polyps
