RBTA in midlle of Xenia Patch

[yettihead]

My RBTA has decided to make his home in a part of my tank that was overridden with Xenia. So far everyone looks happy, has anyone ever dealt with this same situation? I am not to worried about the xenia as it grows like a weed, but more about the RBTA. I know about some corals with chemical warfare, that is why I ask.

Thanks,
Chad

i dont think the zenia will last long in the surrounding areas, for a rbta is much stronger than zenia much hardier and you shouldnt worry about the rbta dieing on you....the rbta will kill off the zenia, or at least what it touches, but every year the zenia will die off and regenerate more, it just will go someplace else, thats all...

spoon25,

Thanks, that is what I thought.

The RBTA has decided it did not like where it was and has found a new home right in the middle of the tank. I much prefer this spot as I can actually see it.

my new bta wiped out a bunch of xenia when he moved into the tank last week. I was pretty happy about it!

Its on the road again, it was happy for about 2 weeks when I first got it, now moves twice a day. This time it is under a huge soft leather, if it doesn't move I will have to persuade it by some methods on this site and of course without harming it.
