Split BTA

My wife has a small tank (20 Gal) with two maroons and a BTA, It split today, How long can they stay close to each other (the split BTA's). Should I move one to my 85 Gal that also has a large BTA?

Thanks

They will be fine where they are at even close to each other. Mine split and then eventually moved right back on top of each other again for awhile with no problems.
More than likely the new one will move on its own anyways....

You can also ask in the Anemone forum

Phyxius is absolutely correct. There's no reason to move either one.

yup, I've got about 14 of them in my anemone tank, and they are just fine.
