If its going into the 10g suggested by your name and avatar, you pretty much have only one place to put it in that tank, the rock you have in the middle .

Pic doesnt work still. What kind Of lights do you have and how big is yor tank? Mine prefer medium-medium high light, with indirect flow but makes the tentacles sway a bit. As you already have it in the tank, leave it alone and it will find a place it likes.

Just curious why you have gone from an LTA to a Sebae and now a BTA??? I am assuming the tank is new and I understand the desire to have clowns associating with a nem but you will have a very hard time keeping any nem alive in a small unstable system.

Frogspawn/Torch/Hammer corals are about as likely to host clownfish as your BTA is, BTA's are not a natural host for A. Percula or A. Ocellaris and as such the clownfish are normally unlikely to associate with them right away if at all. I had similar clowns with 4 BTA's for almost a year with no luck, used a natural host and had association in less then 30 minutes.

Tank has been cycled for 6 months now I have the t5 high output light with the small powerhead and it's a 10 gal

Picture still doesn't come through. Just keep in mind that if you want that nem you will likely lose your other corals as the nem grows. You may be able to prolong this by not feeding the nem but just keep it in your mind.-

That's fine I don't have a problem taking the coral out. The rbta is small right now. Is the t5 high output lite good enough for it? I know the need a lot of light.

Thats a nice one! Looks like a rainbow, since it has 3 colors.

Rbta is wanting to go under the rock!

They like to plant their foot in holes/crevices and will stretch out from there if they're happy.

Don't try to move him, they will go where they want and you could injure their foot. Be sure your power head is covered so he doesn't find his way to it and gets chopped up!
Way too many posts on here of BTA's getting killed by power heads or strong intakes.

Good luck!

I moved him and now you got me all scared! Ugh ;(
