ok anenomes need a ton of light to live.....ifi were you, i would read up on then a whole lot, and do a search on this board, they are pretty hard to keep too. i had one a long time ago before i had my vho, i only had one 55w pc on my 55, had to give the anenome back cause i was not able to give it enough light at the time.....now i have my 440w vho on my 55 and corals are doing way better and i have a green carpet anenome that is about the size of a football.....just do a search and fing out what all anenomes need, and then look and see if you can honestly give it what it needs to survive happily

My condylactus anemone does not seem to like strong lighting. He eats cocktail shrimp every other day and moves to the bottom of a tall tank wheneveer I move him to a strongly lit spot. On the other hand my flower/rock anemone thrives in strong lighting and does not eat meaty foods.
LFS says condy are not photosynthetic and other anemones are.
What is the truth?
