BTA vs soft and LPS corals

[Mihai]

My Green BTA splitted (in 3!) and I'm considering moving one of the clones somewhere where I can see it.

2 questions:
1 - how do I get its foot off the rock
2 - close neighbors include a pearl bubble coral, a few mushrooms (discosoma), and a few zoanthids. Will the BTA sting the corals? the other way around?

Thanks,
Mihai

Many people touch an ice cube to the foot.

The BTA will sting the corals.

The BTA will sting the corals.

All of them? You mean I cannot have any corals on a 10" radius around the BTA? I knew that SPS are out of question, but I was hoping at least for the softies, and for the bubble at the best... where the BTAs are now they touch some brown button polyps and they don't seem to mind each other...
