I don't know for sure that they won't get along, but because I know about your BTA situation, I thought I would mention it. Tony's is one of our resident experts, so hopefully he'll pipe in.
I don't think whether or not it attaches to the substrate is an issue with the BTA's, I imagine that is an acclimation issue. Give it time.
