Corals with BTA?

[dmills422]

Are there any specific corals that you really need to watch having if you have a BTA. Mine has been in my tank about 2 weeks and hasn't even offered to move. I think I'm going to get a torch coral and a ricordea mushroom this saturday. Would this work? It's a 25 gallon tank.

It doesn't really matter what type of coral. You take a chance having a nem in a tank with corals. The nem can move where the corals can't,so they can only stand ground and fight or send out chemical cells. The main problem would be it moving around.

IMO, if the BTA hasn't moved in 2 weeks, it's probably not going anywhere because it's happy where it's at. Just be careful with the torch coral. the sweeper tentacles can be 2 - 3 times long than the others.

Anytime I move anything in my tank my RBTA decides to wander. Just be sure you don't mess with the flow pattern where the BTA is and you should be okay.

My clowns seem to be starting to host in the BTA. Should I wait until they do host in it to get a coral or have they probably already made up their mind?
