BTA in a 16 gallon nano?

[Reefertim]

Hello everyone,
While I have been keeping saltwater tanks for a number of years, I have never gotten around to putting a BTA in one of my tanks. I feel comfortable with how I have kept my water parameters as I do a weekly water change, although I am concerned about making the jump into putting a BTA in a nano as I have always heard you should have at least 30 gallons for a BTA. (my current tank is an IM 16)

Who can weigh in based on their experience with a BTA in a nano?

I had a green BTA in that same tank for several months and it did well. I did add additional lighting to the stock setup though.
I know that's not a long term success story, but it didn't survive the trip when I had to pack up my tank to move back to the USA.

It may work for the short term but a healthy full size bubble tip can reach a foot across. why not go with a maxi-mini anemone. They don't host anything but are pretty little nems.

Sounds like there are some other great options for my current tank that would be less of a hassle. Thanks for your input
