Would just like to know what BTA can hurt if they touch them??
Do they put out sweeping arms at night?? I have yet to see this with mine. Just curious about this though.

they dont put out sweepers , but sometimes the bubbles become elongated and they look like LTA anenomes. the tentacles no matter what shape do have pneumatacysts which are stinging cells, but they are pretty weak. they can irritate and kill sensitive corals like xenia. they can light-starve other corals like zoanthids, or GSP.

My fish are 2 clowns and I do have a coral banded shrimp that is always on the rock the anemone is on but so far nothing has happened to it.
The other things I have in my tank are assorted mushrooms, one very close to it but looks good and is growing like crazy. The other is a toadstools and they are on the other side.
So I guess these things are fine with it hey??

They are fine with it until it decides to move and gets close to one. Its always a gamble to add an anemone to a reef tank. Nothing is considered safe and damage and occur at anytime.
