Do you keep BTA's in a species only tank or in a reef?

Just wondering do you keep your BTA in a species only tank or with other coral? And why?

I understand that this anemone can damage other coral BUT in many photos I see BTAs in reef systems.

Thanks

I kept a colony in a 80 reef with sps. I kept them isolated on a small island and lucky for me they stayed put. I kept them for around a year and decided to put in a pair of tomato clowns which killed my anemones by being to hard on them.

I now keep a pair of gigantea carpets in their place.

I've had BTA's in my reefs over the years several times and after much aggravation ended up pulling them out every time

Here's mine; only photo I have at the moment. I currently have 6 BTAs

I have always kept them in my reef and FOWLR tanks. Once they find their spot, they usually stay put, unless you change the flow or lighting and they don't like it!
