cant do nothing about it if it float. what cause it to float rather then walking around

In a 40G, a BTA likely will walk around and kill half of your coral.

i have 4 in my 40B... u cant say it wont "walk around" in 100g or 500g...

if it doesnt like its spot its gonna move on its own regardless how big the tank is..

All I can say its worth the risk on try one.

Don't agree with that. Could it yes but to say it will isn't true.

Ive seen them in a 30ish cube with no problems

Re: anemone question

Got three in my 40b, they generally stay put, if they do go wandering its usually just to the bottom of their rock then back up to the top

I guess I can give it a try. And see how it goes.

I said "likely" not "surely".
Facts:
BTA will walk about. Whether they walk left, right, up or down is not up to you. You may have some in a 10G and it may be ok if you don't have any other coral or if you are lucky and they don't walk on them or if you can move those other corals. If you have something that are already established on rocks, you are taking a chance.
with these in a 40G:

bunch of zoa
pompom xenia
frogspawn
hammer
candy cane
leathers
acan frags
GSP
brain

The chance is good that something gets walked on.

Re: anemone question

In all honesty we take a chance with pretty much everything we choose to put in our aquariums.
At the end of the day it is whether you wanna risk-it-for-a-biscuit (as we brits would say :–) )
I'm think in all honesty though, most people have good experience with bta's. If you're aware of, and prepare for the worst, you can't be disappointed!

Go for it.

[eklikewhoa]

Noticing from the different ones I've had...

-They don't like direct flow
-They don't like intense light or a spot with the most intense light
-They will foothold anywhere and stretch to where they want to be
-There's not a single set of experience with them that will hold true to the next
-You're not gonna change what it wants to do regardless of who says what.



With that said, here's mine in my 5g with all kinds of other coral and other anemones....

[raleigh19]

the pineapple coral is very nice....I like it....
