Hey everyone,
Curious to hear people's experiences and advice for keeping BTAs in a small-ish system (30gal) - I'd like to distract my clowns from the torch they're guesting to death, and it seems like an BTA would do (plus they're cool).
Main questions: Where (flow and light wise) would the RBTA do best?
How far can their tentacles extend?
What's the best way to keep them from moving? (outside of consistent flow and light). Is there a movement trend (i.e. around the bottom, or vertically?)
Many guides recommend 6 mo. to 1 yr. old systems - Why is this? Nutrient parameters, some other thing that needs to emerge before creating a good habitat?
Lastly (and this one is kind of dodgy) - Experiences with anemone cups? Can anemones actually do well in these, or is it a gimmick? Will it just detach and float to where it prefers?
Appreciate any advice! I know this must be a frequently asked question, but online sources seem to conflict quite a bit.
FTS for potential spots to keep this anemone - I'm thinking about creating some rock cracks in the bottom left corner for the BTA (where the Duncan and Ricordea currently are).
