I have a issue with my BTA seen at the end of the video. All my other corals are doing fantastic and really pushing out polyps. But the anemone has not wanted to get larger than it currently is. It moved there when I put it in the tank almost a month ago. Any tips or ideas what the problem could be?

That BTA spot looks tricky to nail in a nano. Maybe try moving it around for better flow or lighting?

I had tried to move it but it is latched on tight to the rock😑 used a gloved hand as well as a turkey baster and it refuses to budge.

Ugh stubborn BTAs are the worst! Maybe try gently teasing it with a toothpick or something slim to loosen it?

Ah man that sucks! Sometimes they just dig in hardcore. Maybe try moving nearby rocks to block its reach instead? That’s

Yea I’ve got a buddy who’s gonna set me up with another one hopefully it likes my tank more than this one did.
