BTA in my nano reef???

[Larry101]

Hello, I have a Fluval 13.5 nano reef tank that has been up and running for a while now. I know it is generally not recommended to get an anemone in a nano reef tank with the exception of rock flower nems, but I just wanted to get feedback on my tank if I could possibly get a BTA. Would it sting any of my other corals?

It will walk, so potentially.
I think that’s to small, but ya never know.
Maybe with exceptional water, but that’s more difficult with smaller water.

Those Euphyllia will keep the bta in it’s place

You should be ok. It will likely find a spot it likes over time. But they can get big so it might take up more space then you want. And if it starts splitting a bunch then you might have more then planned also.

Yeah nano tanks are a bit of a hassle keeping everything consistent, but within the last few months, my parameters have been quite stable.

Oh that's good! I love my Euphyllia corals.

That would be great if it started to split, I have more tanks I could put them in if it ever happens.

Stability is the key

Feed the BTA and it will split.
