My LFS got some really beautiful looking purple LTA's in. I've heard LTA's are most likely to use chemical warfare on other nem's, no matter which tank I put it in it would be with other anemones, 1 BTA, 2 maxi mini's in 29g, 6 BTA's, 2 rock flower, 3 maxi mini in 90g. Assuming it was satisfied with its placement I can keep it atleast 14" away from any other nem's.
 
Probably wouldn't add a LTA to a bubble tip tank. Might be ok with flowers or maxis (lots of carbon ).
 
That sucks, I could remove the BTA from the 29g but I would have 2 pissed off clowns that aren't the LTA hosting type.
 
You can try it but my guess is that the LTA will not get comfortable in the same water as the BTAs and may never plant its foot. LTAs are fairly difficult to keep (second only to gigs and mags IMO) even in a tank without potential chemical warfare.
 
I thought they weren't that bad, more difficult then BTA's but easier then any of the other Clown compatible nem's like crispa and haddoni. I'll put the plan on hold until I get around to putting lighting that'll support one on my 40, which is where it would of gone eventually anyway, need something that pink skunks will host but a change of pace from all the BTA's I already have.
