Multiple BTA in the same tank?

[BetterMetalReef]

Hey all. In the future I'd love to have a tank with multiple, different color morphs of BTA in the same tank as an anemone display tank. I was wondering if these BTAs, which are not splits of a parent nem but actually different animals, would be ok in the same tank. Would they battle with one another? I know that nems of different species will possibly kill one another. I would rather avoid this if possible. Thanks.

I have done it with Haddonis, LTAs, and BTAs without issue at all. Even had all of them touching at one point or another.

Like Todd said, I think it should be fine. I've heard and seen tanks with both green and roses together long-term without problems.

That goes for all anemones, multiples are fine as long as they are the same species. I want the same thing I have 2 roses and want to introduce a green bta, the effect is awesone and my clowns will like it too.

The Rose and Green have no problems touching but the Gold one which was new to the tank I haven't seen lately.

Now thats what I'm talking about, absolutely beautiful. I am very jealous. Mobert, I just rescently read your thread. Congratulations you've done a great job. That does it, I have to add a gbta to my tank, that is if I can find a nice dark green one. The only ones I came across are light neon almost slightly transparent looking. : )

Awesome. Thanks for the replies everyone. Also, great pic Mobert. How many percs do you keep in that tank? They all get along?

Maybe 22 to 27. Kinda hard to count. All is good. They are 3 years 2 months old now. Born and raised from the same clutch.

It is a RBTA clone. It is hot pink even though it has the same food, water and light as the clones right next to it.
