BTA placement

[username in use]

I thinking about getting a BTA for my clownfish, but i am comcerned about it walking about and doing damage to my corals. Are there any ways to ensure that it stays in a general area, or is it all a crapshoot. Also, is a 29t too small of a tank, my clown hangs in a frogspawn right now with no deliterious effects on it, so should i just leave everyhting be?

They will move around till they find a place they are happy at. There is no way to make them stay put in one place, A 29g is ok size for one as long as you have the lighting for it.
You may just have to move things in its path till it locates a place it likes. Ours pretty much stays put in one area of the tank and may just move it top around but its foot stays planted in the same spot.

just put him in a spot u think is good. he'll move into the shade for a while than come back out.

I have 4, 24watt t5ho bulbs on the tank, and some of the rock comes up to within a few inches of the surface, so i assume that it will want to be up somewhere near the top, and that is where i would want him. My lfs has bt's in two seperate tanks, one with t5's the other with a lot of halides, and the one with all the halides sits right at the surface. So i guess my question is, if iget one thats used to a little more light than i have, will it be more likely to stay at the top of the rick pile where i put him, or should i get one that is in the lower light tank, because it would, naturaly, be an easier transition for the anemone. thanks for the help.

It's an interesting question as to which to purchase, but I'm not sure there is a right answer to it. I would say the ones under the T5's since that is what you are running currently, but I'm no expert on BTA's
