Are you kidding?
im not slapshot but yes u will notice irritation from a bta touching the coral.
It all depends on your set up...The carpets for the most part like to dig into the sand and spread out. It is hard to find them healthy too. BTA's tend to wander around and sit up in the rocks, but are easy to keep and the rose ones are very nice. H. Magnificas (aka. Ritteri) are very cool with their red or purple bases, but need very good flow, water quality and light (then again, they all do, lol.) What kind of clowns are you thinking about. Some will typically only host in certain anemones...

I'd avoid carpets. They're dangerous.
Dangerous? In what way. I saw one in a LFS the other weekend and the clerk had me touch it so I could see that it couldn't sting me. It did try seemed sticky almost and small white dots left on my finger though. On second thought I do have fairly calloused hands and maybe I just have thick skin. Or are you talking about toxins released by the animal?

carpet nems tend to be fish eaters
fish can swim up to and touch btas but a carpet nem is so sticky that as soon as they brush against it they r stuck and the nem starts stinging it.
