I have a BTA with PC lighting 384W in a 125G, but have the LR within 8" of the lights. When I first put him in about 2 months ago, I put him at the top where I thought would be the optimal location. However, he moved around for a couple of days, and ended up lower in the rock structure and orients himself to the light. He seems to be doing fine, but I guess time will tell. I figure if he wants more light, he has the option to go higher. I just added a LTA with purple tentacles that has also located himself in such a manner, but have only had for a week so too soon to tell with him also. If you'd like I can keep you posted on their progress or lack thereof:joy:

I just lost the Long Tentacled Anemone yesterday. I only had it for about 4 days. It didn't look or act well when I got it home, but lots of TLC didn't seem to help. The BTA is still doing great. I think the hardest thing, for me anyway is knowing which ones are healthy and which one's aren't when I go to purchase them. This was only my second one and the first loss. All my tank parameters are fine, so I'm not sure what happened, other than he wasn't healthy when I got him. I'm not going to let it discourage me, but will probably wait a little while before buying again.

I have a BTA. I usta have Coralife's aqualight on my tank (4-65 watt power compacts) and my BTA was so high in the tank, that if my water level dropped even an inch, his foot was in air. So I upgraded to MH's, and he found a cozy little home on a rock...for a while, then he started cruisin' again, but that's a different story. My point was that I don't think my BTA had enough light with my pc's.
