I forgot to say that I also bought a rainbow BTA this weekend hoping my clownfish will host it. It’s found a place in one of my rocks but I’ll have to move my Zoa.

Did you glue the BTA? it will roam around until it's happy, then settle it's footing
No, it roamed a good bit on the first day, but it’s settled in the rock for 2 days now. I keep watching it to make sure it hasn’t landed on another coral.

This is what it does at night but it comes out when the lights come on.

nice colors..btw never glue a nem...how i wish we could ;)
Never! :) I’m just gonna keep an eye on it. If it starts splitting, the lfs said they would help me with selling it if I didn’t want to keep more than one in the tank.

Love it!! Do you have clowns that host it?
I don't have clowns, I have 2 Chromis that stay close to it, but always just out of reach, lol
A yellow goby, doesn't host in it, but did when I bought the goby and anemone together at my LFS..weird, he never went back when I put him in my aquarium, he likes to hang out in my leather coral.
