OK I have had what is believed to be a bubble tip anemone for about 8-9 days and it's kinda looking rough but it will eat krill and still hosts my clarki clown just fine. It's tentacles are kinda stringy but they aren't real bad. I have 2 10k 54W t5's, 2 actinic 54w t5's and 2 10k/6500k 65w pc's in my 90 gallon tank. Thats about 346 watts.

The yellow is 10k, blue is actinic and brown is 6500k. the anemone is placed near the top between the 10k t5's and actinic t5's. I read that anemone's are typically in shallower water and they may like a lower spectrum of around 6500/10k. Should I move the anemone or should I reconfigure the lights? or is there something else i could do?

A pic would be helpful if possible. The anemone will move where it feels is the most appropriate spot. They will extend their tentacles to the light if they feel they are not getting enough.
