The RBTA is looking very good! How long did it take to get that big? It also looks like you have a few other BTAs around too.
one year, you see it in the first pictures how big it started. it eventually stayed that size for some time, but now with the move and all the nastyness happening, it took off 
guess it likes same conditions as dinos and cyanos...
the other rbta was actually double the size as the big one is now, it jumped into a nanostream, lost all but 3 tentacles and is recovering. has grown some tentacles but still looks like it lacks photosynthetic symbiotic algae.
the small green ones you see is a mini-gbta, a species often called cribrinopsis crassa, quite common here in european tanks as it reproduced quicker than rbtas and stays quite small - max 4 inches. they do host clownfish, mine go in there from time to time when they are bored.
it took my clownfish over a year to accept the rbta, it happened when i could not care less whether they do or not anymore. i love them, they get more black ever since i have them and i think true percs are the most beautiful clownfish of all. they are still small, i think thats because of the small tank size, but the female is starting to get that carp-look if you know what i mean.

update time!
planted some seagrass in the tank (will be moved to dedicated tank soon) and in the fuge. i think it is cymodocea nodosa.
both filefish died suddenly, i suspect internal parasites. my sps have vanished, except for 2 green montiporas which survived the dinos. the dinoflagellates are gone completely, i get some very dark green cyano though on some spots.
i do not know if i will restock sps or continue with gorgonians and mushrooms/ mini carpets from now. will post updates as soon as i stock up.

Really?
update!
well the sps theme cant be continued after the dinos wiped them out, also my time and budget allow only easier inhabitants.
clowns spawn on a regular basis, seagrass is growing new leaves and hopefully new shoots too.
inhabitants for now:
2 percs
1 seagrass filefish
1 algae blenny
1 banded sleeper goby
sand sifting star
hermits
2 btas
3 types of gorgonians
different mushrooms
palaemon elegans im refugium
