Nervous about releasing BTA in DT

[TnFishwater98]

I’ve got corals and sponges all over my LR..I have some corals I haven’t set yet that I can move. Will a BTA hurt/kill a red starfish? Any advice or tips I would appreciate...
Tank You!

The starfish is OK.
Find a bright spot with low to medium flow, in a crevice of a rock.
Pumps and pheads off, place and hold him there for 5 minutes, let him attach. Pumps on after 30 minutes.
Urchins bother my btas.

Everything will be fine I thought the same thing when i first added my BTA, i placed em in a nice spot where there are a lot of crevices in the rock work and he moved towards the back of the rock -.- so hes on the backside of the tank so i cant see it lol...but he didnt move around that much hes been nothing but peace in the tank.

So far so good. Left her in the acclimation container all night. I wanted to release during the day time so it would hopefully settle around the spot I liked that gets a good amount of light and decent flow. Place the BTA with power heads off and filter intake very minimal. After 30 mins I increased the filter intake slowly until desired filter flow. I waited another hour until I turned on the power heads. My anemone shrimp and sexy shrimp have checked out the new addition by climbing right in. My clowns have swam by many times to check her out. Hopefully the BTA stays because this is the main area my clowns use as they flow in and out of the LR. I’ll keep this post updated for further reference. I moved some non-set corals and hoping she doesn’t take a trip around the tank tonight deciding to do a bunch of drive-bys killings or putting holes into my other inhabitants. I left a lot of corals out, so I hope she is happy. Especially worried about my plates...
