BTA before or after corals?

[Nordkapp]

At this time almost all the livestock has moved from the 29 to the 90 gal, the process should be over within another week.
As far as corals I have decided to keep my multi-head (15??) Duncan, the candy canes and a few polyps. The plan is to start stocking SPS and LPS soon and get a BTA as well.
Since I read BTAs like to move around before finding their perfect spot, should I get the BTA before the rest of the corals.

I've done a lot of asking around about this, as I also plan on getting a BTA. The concensus, based on my inititial inquiry, was that I should get the BTA first, let it have room to wander, then start stocking other corals.

Before would be best IMO but there still is no guarantee that it will stay put. It might not move for a year and then decide to take a stroll. They can also split and then you have multiple nems to keep an eye on.

Yup.. I started with one.. now at 8.

And they will wander it seems. Mine have sat in the same spot for months and then, without me changing anything in the tank, up and move to a new spot.
