Help my BTA please…

[littlefoxx]

I moved one of my BTAs to the 125 for my clowns. It was fine the first week and happy to host them. But my female got really aggressive for it and kept biting and forcing her way into it when it was closed and now it looks horrible. Any advice? Pictures of it now and them before

My female has been increasingly crabby and mean since too. Bites me and all other fish that swim near her

I don't know the answer. every bta i put in my tank disappears

Did you place it in her former “nesting” spot.
She may see it as a invader.
My female gets very agressive after laying eggs.

Sometimes the clowns end up stressing the anemone out not giving it a minute. Was it been hosted in the last tank

No it wasnt being hosted. And she hadnt established a nesting spot until I put the nem in for them

At times they get too aggressive/excited with anemones and euphyllia coral and stress the daylights out of them and at times to point of death. Assure also that the anemone s not getting too much light which will cause it to hide and even shrivel up, or too much flow which will also cause it to move to a less high flow area and hide.
Other would be elevated salinity-phosphate and even temperature.
A nem like this- feed it large mysis shrimp and chopped shrimp and scallop from the grocery store.
I just scallop today for my nems and elegance and holy moly - $26.99/lb !!
