    It was identified at the store as a LTA, atlantic I believe. It has now walked back down the glass and is near where I originally placed it on the sand/rock. Flow shouldn't be any issue as the powerhead is near.

    Unfortunately, the only Atlantic LTA is the Condy. :-/

    I went back and looked at your thread right after you got it, it's a Condy.

    Very potent sting, many clown fish will not reside in one because of this.

    Typically they will foot on rockwork or walls.

    LTA should foot at the base of rock work structures.

    If that's the case then it will be removed. It was $10 and I thought I'd give it a try.

    I seen a clown fish hosting an anemone at petco today and I almost made the move on both. Better wait until my tank cycles.
