Bta are less deadly than say a carpet or LTA, But might be safer with some flowy lps like a nice colored aussie hammer or torch.
I am not an anemone person so slightly biased opinion here lol.

The BTA won't harm the mantis but if the BTA goes wandering in or near the mantis cave it could get ugly for the BTA.

Thats kinda what I figured - do you think it would just kill it or would it eat it too? I bet nems are SPICY.

I don’t think it would eat it but smashers tend to smash things that get in their way.

Old post but I keep a Mantis and a Tube anemone in a small tank and the worst that's ever happened was the mantis hit the anemones tube and then moved away but both are fine and live happily together

I have a bta in my mantis tank and they don’t care about each other at all the most interaction I get from them is if the mantis brushes by the bta and it retracts a little bit and things go back to normal.
