Xenia and BTAs

[hoody]

Hi guys, I wanted to start an clown fish harem and have a few beautiful nes growing out already and Id also like to add Xenia to it also but don’t want to hurt or over run the Nems.
so my question is would Xenia be a bad thing to add with BTAs will it over run them and or annoy them or will the nems hold their own.
Cheers in advance

Nems will hold their own, I have Xenia and nems together, I’ve seen some tanks with BTA living in Xenia.

Together are fine and I’ve had minimal issues with Xenia spreading

As mentioned above, Xenia and Nems don't bother eachother. However, I'd point out that Xenia is a pretty invasive species, and I'll guarantee you, if you not kept in check, they will take over all your rocks.

Best of luck!

I have both and when my BTA moved, it literally sat on top of my Xenias. Oh wells…. Good thing I have plenty. Haha
