anemone concern?

[monkeyone]

OK now i purchased an pink tipped hatian anemone. At first he turned out disturbed and behavior was confusing but with a little homework i figured out he's good to go. MY concern is the lighting I have 2 x 65 watt Dual Daylight 6,700k/ 10,000k, 2 x 65 watt Dual Actinic 420nm/ 460nm. A 260 total watts. Are they good enough for the anemone.
Also he is currently located next to my emperor 400 suction where there is flow he seems to be enjoying it should i just let him be.

becareful about it being next to the intake. If it gets sucked in the intake it may be grinded and will die and melt down and may take the whole tank with it. i would try and put a sponge or something over the intake.
Luckily mine got sucked in multiple times and hasnt died... Its almost like i cant kill the thing

Depends on the size of your tank. Need to look at about 4'xs the gal. Example:55x4=220. So it is recommended that you have 220w OR MORE for a 55. I do believe that 4 is the magical number, but not 100% sure. Good luck. Oh, and definately put sponges over your power heads, (grrrrnnnndddddddd)

ussually 4-5 watts per gallon is needed for the intensive xoo's
