Finally took the plunge and picked up a little speckled BTA and then of course I bought its cousin down the road at another shop. Should I be concerned that the little guy settled right next to the zoas?

Unfortunately nems may sting and kill corals.

Most often they do.

I wouldn’t add any more corals until the nem settles in and finds its happy spot.

I would wait a couple months personally.

Agree, they will sting most anything they touch, though xenia and gsp kinda tolerate it, notice you have gsp.

I'd be careful though in moving should you decide if it's really set, don't want to tear foot.

It doesn’t seems to be bothering the zoas in the least. I would love to move it. Any suggestions as to how? All I’ve read on is horror stories
