Rose BTA — do they knock things over?

[Robert Binz]

I’m considering a Rose BTA in my new build (obviously I will wait until the tank is very established and very stable) and the nem would be under a radion.

it seems like they move quite a bit. Do these animals ever knock other corals off the rock scape? I don’t tend to glue things because I like to move them if they need to be moved.

I’m worried the BTA, while beautiful, could turn into a problem

No, you'll have more of an issue with snails. My anemone tends to go around most obstacles and sit right on top of my acans :mad:

Hit or miss on moving around, but they don't knock stuff over or move it like snails or urchins. The moving depends on where it finds a happy place. I got lucky and mine walked about 6" down the rocks and settled right in the middle of the tank after I added it and hasn't moved in almost 5 months. Other folks have horror stories of them walking all over, stinging and killing corals. They kind of just do whatever they want to do.
