Resting place decided by my BTA

ramasezz · May 3, 2017

Hi everyone..
Have a BTA that's split into 3. The smallest of them all (about an inch in diameter) has decided to take up a spot on top of a colony of Zoas of mine..
I think this is not good, but since he's so small and did this only today evening, can I let him be and see of he will move on his own or do o need to take any action..
If I need to, can I get some tips on how to evict him without harming either the anemone or the polyps..
Pics for your reference

Look forward to your advice.. Tks.. Ram.

Wow, that is unique! I'm guessing that he will need to move on his own. But lets ask the anemone whisperer @cromag08

@AcroNem. This is awesome! Thought you would enjoy this

@Zack Klabunde cool thanks for the tag! Congrats on it splitting! Those polyps don't look very upset, if they get stung badly (E. quadricolor doesn't have a terrible sting) then I'd think about moving it yourself but I'd say let it move on its own for now. Keep us posted.

So cute

Leave it. I've had many nems live within a colony of zoas, peacefully. wait a week or so for the nem to heal and then you can safely move it if needed.
