o.k. check it out i'm watching a buddies tank and am freaking out... his RBTA has now wedged itself in between a purple acro,purple montipora, and a green birdsnest, and some orange ricordia. W-t-f is the rbta going to kill these corals.( these corals are not frags. they are colonies) what should I do??? move the rbta,move the coral? or am I just over reacting???? thanks for the help. tony

I would move the corals away from the RBTA.

+1 for moving the coral asap. It only took over night for one to kill over 8 heads off my duncan colony!

Yes the anemone can kill those corals. I would move the corals if you can.

I moved every single set of coral away from the rbta, any way of keeping him from moving again? or nothing I can do?

It will likely move around until it finds a good spot that it likes. The best way that I've found to keep them from moving is to keep the tank parameters stable once they find a good spot.

move the corals and hope for the best. The anemone is going to go where it wants and it's not wise to try to stop it. They generally settle somewhere with strong light and moderate cuurents.

Next time try aiming a powe head at the BTA and he'll move, that way you can sort of control where he won't like.
