shrooms vs bta

[voidg]

So, my BTA has taken up residence beside a young shroom colony. I've noticed small marks on the shrooms which I'm guessing is damage from the bta. Should I move/cut the mushrooms off, will they move on their own? Some other course of action?

thanks

it really depends on you.. if it were me. i would just leave it be.

I am thinking about doing just that...nothing. Yesterday I was close to removing them as most looked dead, today the nem backed off and they sprung back. Going to sit back and watch this unfold. If the nem starts in on my large shroom he's getting the power head until he finds a new home.

Its strange what corals a nem will bother and which it wont. My huge bta is right near my huge toadstool, during the day while the nem is fully extended and literally around the toadstool I dont see any type of annoyence happening, toadstool has extended tentacles. However the bta was near my hammer coral and the hammer was retracted almost completely.

They might start detaching if they get stung too much, if they start looking stressed you might wanna move something...

They should get used to each other. My RBTA was reaching out and stinging a blasto as he was growing. Once he figured out there was no threaght they live in peace. Nems don't like firing their nematocysts if they can help it.
