Anemone compatibility?

Catherine01 · Aug 11, 2019

Hello!

I recently purchased a BTA, once I placed him in the tank he moved around a bit and decided to settle right next to my Mini Maxi anemone. They are roughly 2 inches away from each other, but I find the BTA tends to lean closer to it during the day, as the mini maxi is sitting almost directly below my light and I imagine the BTA is trying to get as close to the light as possible. Is there any risk of them stinging each other, or can I leave them be? To be honest I'm tempted to just move the mini maxi but his foot is deep in the rock, I can't even see it so this is pretty difficult. I attached a pic to show just how close they are. The mini maxi is a bit shriveled atm as I had poked it a bit before taking the photo.

Thoughts if I should bother to move them or are they fine?

I would not try to move them. They could be fine or they could decide they dont like each other. If they do decide not to get along then move one of them.

What would I look out for if they weren't getting along? I assume they might shrivel away from one another

They will be fine. I have maxi rfa and bta all smushed together and none seem bothered by it. When the bta gets itself all opened up it runs right up on the maxi. The maxi has moved down even closer since this picture.
