Hi Callous1,
Well, if anemone is happy and finds a suitable spot quickly than roaming should be minimal. As time progresses this particular anemone may begin to clone ( think asexual reproduction) and that in itself may be your biggest problem. I should know since I have about 15 of them.How mobile are the BTA's? Do they "foot" quickly and stay put? I've heard some types of anemones roam![]()
They can and will kill coral or clams if allowed physical contact. I lost almost everything in my tank as my rose E.quaricolor begun to take over the tank. As far as some coral being able to nettle anemones.., I sincerely doubt it. Unless some can chemically compete with anemone and make it move or even make decline. Probably possible but in physical contact anemone will win most of the time.Will the sting of a BTA kill a coral or T. clam??
I think BTA's ( Entacmaea qudricolor ) are probably the most suitable for captivity simply becouse of their ability to reproduce asexually and that means that they don;t have to be removed from their natural habitats all that often.I have had successful reef tanks over the years but never owned an anemone. From what I understand the BTA's are the safest for a reef tank.
