    I wouldn't get one unless your tank is at least a year old. A good beginning one is a bubble tip.

    Why not get an elegance coral instead?

    IMO BTAs look nothing like bubble coral.

    Mags are great, but under the right conditions, can grow massively and take over way too much room (I recently sold mine out of my 75). I got a really nice long tentacle nem and sebae nem to replace the mag. THe sebae is awesome and my clowns love it (they didn't want anything to do with the mag, surprisingly). Some people don't like sebaes because they are plain white, but you kind find them in a cool pink or white with the bright purple tips that seem to glow under actinic. My LTA is brown with iridescent white strips...I will see if I can pull a pic to show ya.
