Went to a new LFS in my area last night and they had 6 sweet looking RBTAs in stock. I will be getting one for my 55 gal reef this weekend and would like to get some advice on tank placement, feeding, etc. I have the Nova Extreme pro T-5 light, and have had anenomes before (My condi who got sucked into a powerhead
). Do these guys move around looking for a good place to live the way my Condi did? Also, is a clown likel;y to host a RBTA?
Thanks!

Answered above in red.
If you feed your corals mysis or cyclops this will be just fine to give to your anemone at the times you feed your reef. They do not need to eat every other day. Once every week or 2 is sufficient if your lighting is good and your water quality is perfect. And the anemone is healthy from the get go. They are filter feeders by nature and will readily pick up any left overs moving about in the water column. I have not target fed my anemone in over 3 months but it does benefit from morsels when I feed my corals. HTH... and as far as a RBTA and Clownfish pairing well....

One other tid bit of advice...

Thanks! I'm going to cover my Koralias before I bring the RBTA home. Nice picture too!
