Bubble tips in mixed reef nano tanks

[reeferfoxx]

Just wondered if anyone keeps any bubble tip nems in there nano mixed reef tanks? More specifically mixed reefs. Would like some pictures and length of ownership. I would like to own one, but my gut feeling and MOST research says no. What is your thoughts?

Yea i keep a couple monsters in a mixed 400g reef. They dont move too much, but if they touch coral it will get hurt. Its a hit or miss.

I have five in my 14 gallon nano( one is 4 In. , two are 3 and a half In. ,one is two and a half In. , and one is an inch and a half) I've owned the 3 larger ones for 2 years and the others for about six months.

How do you keep your bta from growing large?

You splice them. Once they're 5-6" you can pull it out and use a sharp razor blade to make a singular clean cut through the nem (be sure to cut evenly through the mouth). Thus making the nem you want smaller for a bit, and netting a tradable.

I've never had much of a problem with the getting too big ,mine seem to grow slower than most. Wish they were bigger though.

This was one of my older BTAs, but died for unknown reason(GBTA) The roses are the same.
