Am i crazy for wanting to put a BT in my 20 gallon with 5 other corals already in the tank????

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're not crazy, but you might be depending on how much space you have. Pictures would be more helpful.

No, I have at BTA and an LTA in a 20 long. They were actually in the tank before most of my corals. Just be prepared to move your coral if it doesn't like being next to a nem. Some corals do not seem to mind as much as others to a nem encroaching.

Just noticed I have a bristle worm living underneath my toadstool is that going to be a problem??

Not an expert on tank pests so can't help there. But I think you have plenty of space for a smaller anemone.

how old is your tank?

These nems grow pretty big, pretty fast. My two started out just a tad bigger than 2" and exceed 6" in 6-7 months. Have an exit strategy planned cuz if they are happy, they will take over your 20 long.

What lights are you running? They like lots of light, and a 20 is a small volume of water to handle a hefty light. My nem is under 250 watt halides....
