anemone ?

[lineman1]

is there an anemone that doesn't require pc lighting? i have 80w of lighting. 1 40w acetenic and 1 40w 10000k. my tank is a 55 i have a percula clown that i would like to host w/ anemone without changing my lighting if possible

any help would be greatly appreciated!

sorry....anemone's are very light demanding. I believe 80w would be insufficient.

80 watts is no where enough for a 55 gallon . You would need at least 260 watts .

There are anenomes that dont need much light. But not the kind you are thinking of. I have a purple tube anenome in my 65 and it has no lighting requirements. It is said to be a voraciuose predator, but i've never had a problem with it. i dont believe you want you clown to host in it!

yeah most anenome have very high light requirments. you could keep an anenome under PCs but only for a couple of months and if that then would probably die. Unless you meet the requirments for the species you wnat to buy please don't buy it.
