What kind of flow for RBTA?

[Reefer08]

What is an ideal type of water movement for a RBTA? CL or Powerheads? How strong of water movement? How do I avoid an anemone getting sucked into a powerhead? Is a tunze nanostream okay or is it too concentrated of a flow pattern?

I'd keep it out of direct current. Mine do fine in a dead corner of the tank that gets slow water movement.

Mine like moderate random flow : )

Once it settled, the flow is not a problem but not the direct flow.

I have two BTA's and they are completely different.

One BTA loves being in the direct flow of a vortech. Shut off the pump for more than a few hours, and it will start to move.

The other dislikes strong current and decided to stay in an area with very little flow.

Mine like a medium flow, just not to strong.

All 4 of my BTA(1 Rose), are all under/just in front of PH. None have been sucked into Korilias(3 and4).
