I am thinking of getting a rbta and a hosting maroon clown I saw at the lfs, I am not sure that I can put it in with my corals. My tank is a 55 and has about 12 corals, trumpet, leather,tongue,hammerhead,open brain,gorgonian,ect. Will a bta get along with these. I have high output T-5, water peramiters were just all checked all are perfect.
I have about 50lbs of live rock and am running all DI water. Tank has been up and running for 3 years now. What do you feed the bta and how often, what about my powerheads? All input would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
Your bta would do fine in this tank, provided you do a few things. Place the anemone high in the tank close to the lights. Try to find a small hole or crevice to place his foot in. Make sure that he can not get to the power heads. Give him plenty of room between him and any other animal. Don't jet wash him with the powerheads.
I would also suggest letting the bta get settled in before buying the clown. After it is expanding and feeding well for a week or two it should be safe to start shopping for a clown. Good Luck!
