BTA in fuge?

Ok.. I'm taking down my 12g deicated bta w/ 2 clowns. I just started a 90g from a 40g and don't want to risk putting the bta in the main 90g. Hyodors, PH, corals.. etc.. The chance of it moving is high due to the high water flow in the 90g. In the 12g it only moved when I didn't feed it for 2weeks.

My question is can I put him with the 2 clowns in the fuge with a reverse daylight system? I'll be using the same lighting as the 12g which is 70w hqi 14k. The fuge is about 15g and sees about 20-25% water return from the main tank at around 5-600ish gph. so about 150gph flowing through it. My only other option is to try a sell it private or back to the LFS.

here are my current tanks right now. The bta is about 10"

You can try it but Im sure it would be much happier in the 90g tank. Try your best to make the PH anemone friendly and put him right between the two white rocks that are slightly more right in the center of the tank.

Well. I'm going to try then. First as for the PH. They are hydors so they already have a mesh around them but I'll add some gutter gard to make sure. As for the return lines, I'm running eductors that suck water throught the larger opening of the mouth. Not sure what I can do about that.

As for placement. The two rocks its on right now were picked out perfect for it due to the large creavace it makes for the foot to go into. I think ill add those pieces to the island on the left to try and make it's home there. I do have alot of flow in the tank though. about 30 x over. Very broada nd random. So I hope he finds a spot for it to like. I'll try and move him fri then.
