Anemone INFO please

[tonynader]

i have a Ritteri Anenome in my 28 gal nano cube with 105wat CF-Quad lighting. When the anenome closes up, what does that indicate? Is this ok?

 

[nycbob]

ritteri anemones need very high lightings (ho t5 or mh). ur power compact 105-watt fixture wont sustain it long-term. it could either be dying, or just sleeping. many anemones deflate once the light goes out. also, most anemones need an established tanks to thrive.

 

[tonynader]

so what do you suggest the best anenome for my false percula clowns?

 

[coralreefer]

well with power compacts, no anemones will thrive. clown fish dont need an anemone

i would get a atinic or a more powerful light.
