My old Kuda seahorse grew up in a tank full of BTAs and he would swim under and use his head to literally push the anemone out of his way as he went hunting for mysis. It was very fun to watch. He lived for 2.5 years in that tank and never got stung or eaten. I was very sad when he died of extreme old age (seahorses usually have 2 years life span).

I was very concerned the other day when a new fairy wrasse went charging into my group of 4 BTAs (2 RBTA, 2 GBTA) and one of the GBTA was closed up when I looked in the tank a few minutes later. Fortunately, the new fairy has been out and about eating his mysis several times since then so it wasn't eaten.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I would love to have a Linneatus wrasse and be very POed if it was lost.
