Hi. I've got a 1+yo reef tank. Corals + Fish. I bought a BTA few months back for my 2 clownfish. Fortunately, the NEM settled in a nice crevice away from my zoas. A week ago, it decided to move right next to my zoas. And today, I noticed it has almost covered one zoa (frag, but settling onto rocks).
I thought it was just looking around, and would eventually move away. But now I am worried (of chemical warfare, but more so >>palytoxin<< aaah!)
Should I be worried - do zoas release palytoxin when next to BTA? I don't know if it is stinging the zoa, but I did notice just before light-out that the zoa buds opened a little bit (maybe catch the last bit of light?)
Would the BTA move? Or should I nudge it away?
(I'll try and upload a pic in the morning)
