RBTA Vs. SPS

[ReefCube]

I was wondering if a RBTA would be ok in a nano with sps? I was thinking about buying one with some clowns but Im not sure since I have acros I dont want them to get stung and die on me especially since there is not a bunch of room in my tank. I hear they move around a bunch. Anyone have experience with them and sps

nothing will stand up to the anemone, so where ever it moves, it is likely to sting and possibly kill corals. once it has settled on a spot it likely wont move much if ever again.

What Ace said. They will sting/kill everything within a radius of their tentacles. When they split, one part will likely move off - sometimes both will. In a small tank, they can take up a lot of room.

Mine unexpectedly split into three one day while I was at work, and all the little bits went a-wandering... my little sister happened to be home and was kind enough to move all my SPS frags out of the way before they were steamrollered, but it was close. I wouldn't try it unless you took the SPS out and let the anemone choose a spot without them in there. Also, know that if a powerhead near them ever goes out, they may pick up and move again... That also happened to me!
