My bet is on the anemone. If it was a carpet anemone I would know the answer (the carpet wins), but as it is a BTA...it is just an educated guess.

I would bet on the BTA as well....but why risk it?

If it's on the move its foot is probably inflated like a balloon. Blast its foot with a turkey baster it should lift off and you can move it to another location. If this fails just move the frogspawn until the BTA passes by.

My froggie kicked my galaxea's ***, but the same galaxea colony held its own against a small GBTA until the anemone moved on. Ergo, don't underestimate the 'spawn.

My BTA touches my hammer coral all the time with no ill effects to either parties.
