I have a RBTA in my sons nano that I'm about to break down soon. I wanted to put him in my DT, I am just worried about how to do so... I know he will move around some, just wondering if he will really harm other corals while searching for his spot. What can I do to minimize him doing so? Or is it just a cross fingers type of deal?...

Don't cross your fingers, it makes it very difficult to move things when you do that.Pick an area where he will get a moderate amount of flow and ample light. Then be prepared to move your coral should he go somewhere else. Short term exposure (like when he's moving around) shouldn't be a problem. It's the long term effect on some corals. I don't mind if mine takes up residence on a sheet of zoas cause they will grow in the direction the anenome isn't. But I've had long term damage done to a SPS piece or two over a week or so of exposure.Not sure if I'd be too happy if mine took up house on a rock that housed permanent sps. If that becomes an issue I'd move the rock around so that it's no longer pleasant for him. He will move.

Lol, ya well I rescaped almost the whole tank the other day. I went to pick up a cap that fell behind some rock and let's just say everything had to be rescaped afterwards.... And what should have took a few minutes took almost 2 hours... But I think he will be happy on some of the big spots I left open.... But with my luck, I will probably be rescaping again...
