can LTA and BTA coexist in a 90 gal

I have a beautiful LTA (newly hosted by my clowns) in my 90 gal. Everybody is happy.
Could I add a BTA?
Where in the tank? close... far away?
Is one of the clown going to go for it?
They are both in the LTA... is it not too much a load for it?

clowns will host bta or lta. some species are more partial to one or the other.
you can have two in the same tank, its recommended to keep them from reaching eachother.
Put it on the other side of the tank

Agreed, you definately have the room. They do roam though, so make sure they aren't near eachother or wander towards eachother.
 
I have a 120 and HAD a LT in there and then I added my BTA. They lived together for 2 days and then the LT got too close to the BTA.
I now have just one anemone in that tank.
As for the clowns, they may switch back and forth or just keep the one they are in. I had a true perc in my other tank with a green carpet and then I added a Magnifica. The clown was with the carpet for a couple of years but she couldn't resist that comfy Magnifica. She would just switch back and forth and would chase fish away from both of them.
