Anemone options

[pleasants9]

I have a 55-gallon with a 50/50 fluorescent light, can i host any kind of anemone with that set up?

I heard bulb tip anemones would be my best bet, but i would need to supply supplements for it to thrive.

IMO your lighting is not sufficient. You're going to want at least 4 individually reflected T5ho or two 175w halides for long-term success.

i have a 20,000K 250W MH over my 55g
my LTA has grown from smaller than my fist to about 10" in a few months

as mentioned flourescents arent enough, but if the tank isnt that deep than you might be able to go PC. then again with the replacing of the bulbs 2 times per year you would be better off with the T5's

You could do a tube anemone if you have enough sand or can give it a sand-filled PVC pipe to retract into.

They are nonphotosynthetic.
(Keeping in mind that they won't host clowns, occasionally eat fish and I don't think are true anemones)
But long term a true anemone probably won't fare well.
