yes it is, i loved the coloration, its right across from the filter output so makes sense that it needs high flow, i took out my powerhead to mix some water for a water change so the most flow was from the filter
good thing i ordered my new lights yesterday, should have about 4.8 watts per gallon

YIKES!!!! That anemone will probably need stronger lighting.

hm, thats a shame, if the lights wont work, ill have to give the anemone away
How many watts are your lights?
MOST (not all) anemones do not do well under pc's....There are SOME cases of people who have pcs and are able to keep anemones....although there are more cases of ones who can't....

as someone who has tried to keep anenomes and corals under pc's, i'll just say this:
wattage per gallon is not a good way to determine what you can keep. they are decent in say a biocube or something, but pc's just don't give the PAR (strength) of light needed for corals/anenomes. heck, my zoos didn't grow under pc's. someone told me that if a coral isn't growing, it's dying. since ive gone to t5's, i understand what he told me. my coral growth has multiplied 100fold.
you seem to keep getting anenomes... how many tanks are you keeping these in?
i did though keep a bubble tip under pc's, and it was at the very very top of the tank. 3 months after i traded it to someone with MH, it was 5 times as big as when i gave it to him.
