RBTA in a mostly SPS tank with high flow?

[sditch]

I have a 120gal with mostly SPS and wanted to see if you guys think it would be a good home for a RBTA? I have one in my nano has has been great but I conserend about the flow and him woundering and getting into my vortech?

I have an RBTA which is now 5 RBTAs, a pair of Vortechs and no issues with the flow whatsoever. I do have issues with the RBTAs taking over the freakin' tank, but that's another story. They don't wander much, but sometimes they change slightly where they stretch out to the light, they now cover a good bit of the left side of my tank and have killed several SPS frags that had the misfortune of being epoxied to the rocks in the vicinity.

I have three RBTA in my 120 gal LPS/SPS tank. One of mine did move but not much from its original spot. As far as flow is concern, I don't think it is a problem, mine seems to expand out more with the alternate flow. When I got them, they were 3-4 inches in diameter. Now, they expand to closer to 8 inches. In the long term, I will have to get a tank dedicated to these beautiful anemones just because I want them to split and take over the tank. But right now, I am happy with how they are behaving.

As for flow, just make sure any returns or powerheads are not aiming directly at the RBTA.

Thinks guys, I just just a pair of true perc's and they seem like they need a home to sleep in

Clownfish will be fine without an anemone.

Yea, but they are not sleeping anywhere. It seems like they stay up all night. maybe they need some more time to find a nice spot to rest.
