Moving an RBTA w/hosting clown, Need to move from BC8 to 29AGA

[RG Rude]

I have inherited a BC8 with a RTBA and a very small clown that is hosting. I need to move it to my 29 AGA that has T5's. That tank already has two skunk clowns that are not hosting anything. How do I move my clown and RBTA causing the least amount of turmoil. Is it even possible? The 29 AGA has plenty of live rock as opposed to the BC8 if that matters.I also have other critters in the 29.

This may end up being a recipe for disaster. Although different species, I'd imagine the established pair of skunks will not take kindly to the new clownfish coming in.

Now as for moving the anemone/clown without disturbing their hosting, I wouldn't worry. My clowns host in a torch coral and I just moved all the coral over one day, moved the fish the next and they immediately went into the torch coral and the female (male died) hasn't moved since.

That said, you need to make sure your new tank is very well established and all that which it sounds like it is because it has fish in it already.

Thanks for your help. That is exactly what I am worried about. I already have two RBTA in my other closed looped 29 AGA that are hosted by a mean Maroon. So it is out of the question.

Maybe I'll just move the RBTA and leave the clown in the BC8 by himself.
