I do realize I have no control over where it goes, but I was simply asking about how much time it takes an anemone to acclimate to a new home. I also do not have many corals that cannot be moved if the BTA decides to venture too close.

Have you upgraded your lights from what's poosted in your signature?
No, I have 220w of PC's over my tank, thats it, I upgraded from 110w of PC's.

they are still a "photosynthetic creature", with zoanthelle algae in their tissues and require a LOT of light.
So, your telling me that 220w of PC's is insufficient for any "photosynthetic creature"? Ummm, I've had corals in my tank for almost a year now, no problems, including a torch for about 5 months, and a candycane for 2 months, both of which are happy. I hope you're not serious that you beleive everything needs that much light, or you are just referring to anemones, cause almost all corals in the aquarium trade house zoxanthelle.

Also, I know someone that has a tank 2 1/2 times bigger than mine who kept 3 BTA's, and a flower anemone or two under 4x96 w of PC's for well over a year and the anemones are still doing great. He has recently upgraded to 2x250w mh over the 125, but only cause he wants to get into SPS.
