Ok, I followed the typical routine of temp and drip aclimation, and my clowns have taken a liking to my bubble tip right off the bat. my larger clown (about 2") is banging the BTA against the live rock pretty hard so I put him in an old breeding trap that i have. She has been swimming back and fourth over and breathing very hard. I was going to leave her in it over night so the bta has a chance to settle in a bit, is this a bad idea for the clown? I don't want to stress her to death... although she does bite me constantly so maybe a new one would be nicer :D
 
how big is your anemome compared to your clowns becuse i went thorught the same thing and the thing is the not only will the clown get stressed but aslo your anemome could get stressed as mine did and split. so what i was told is that your anemone should be 3 times the size os your biggest clown. so we trade our two bubble tips for one larger long teneticle hope this helps

It depends, when it is deflated it gets to maybe 3 times the size, but it gets to be 5x's + bigger, but she is rough on it, maybe I will set up a bucket with a filter and a heater on it for a few days for the clown...
