Let your tank do the teaching now!!

like how you boycott crabs...lol

Boycott seems a little understated.

Don't worry too much about the BTA moving a lot. Initially, it may move around to find a spot it likes, but once it does it usually doesn't move very much at all. I put mine right over a crack between 2 rocks and it immediately put its foot into the hole and has not moved. When I kept my other BTA's years ago they didn't move from their spots move for years until they split and then one would move away.

My problem now is I must have captive bred clowns as they won't host anything. Which could be a blessing in disguise I guess.

Yea I killed my first bta some how, but had it for a month in my 16g and it never moved lol, i guess cause it was dying? :P
