Even with all of my mishaps, I must be doin' something right. We have only had the rose bta for 2 months, it goes on walkabout all the time. This time it left alittle something behind. The close up pic of bta is the new one.

Mine stayed in the same spot for about 7 months and just lately started moving around the tank, I think he has found his new spot though. I had to move about 6 corals two weeks ago trying to keep them out of his way. I am thinking about buying a tank just for the clowns and the Ann. before I start buying SPS corals. Would hate to spend $50 or $60 $$$ for a coral just to come home and find them with the Ann. sitting on top of them.

Just a thought here on something you might try. I have found a pattern with my BTAs on where they find a ( some what) permanent home. Seems like they like to find a cave that they can go in when the lights are off, but when the lights are on they like to be able to move out of the cave and onto the front face of the live rock or on top to get the light, and then back in when the lights go off. Maybe try and create a cave of some sort for it.
