The florida condy anemone looks like it is bleached. Make sure you feed them a lot. The second one looks fine if it is indeed a pink-tip haitian. But it seems strange to me that it is so brown and doesn't have a raelly orangish foot like others I have seen. Or is brown not its real color?

To me they look ok except for the florida condy being bleached, but I'm not an expert at anemones. However, I would not recommend an anemone to anybody with inadequate lighting.

I didn't say his light is working, just said that the anemones look healthy mostly. He has only had them for 2 months. Please do not attempt to keep an anemone with that kind of lighting. Normal output lights is the worst kind of lights for them. Look into PC, VHO, and MH lights. If you cannot afford it then just leave the anemone until you can. Your clowns can still breed without it,and there is a chance that they may not even host an anemone. Many clowns, even wild caughts, do not host.

130 watts is below the minimum lighting for anemones. Not exactly a great idea. Just wait until you can get mh or at least add another PC bulb or two onto that 130 watts.
The pics just needed to be resized. This board say they need to be 500x500 pixels or less.

Use any photo/image modifying program, I use Adobe PhotoDeluxe. Then just make it 500x500 pixels or less.

At the top bar on the same line that says File there is Size. Click Size then go down and click Photo Size. Then make sure Proportions is checked. Then change the top two boxes to Pixels, and change the bigger of the two numbers to 500 or less. Then when you go to save the picture go to File>Export>File Format. Then change the file format to either .jpg or .bmp. That's it!

Just a comment on clowns hosting and having anenome's with too little light. I have two percs and they don't even look at my BTA. They have been togother for a couple of weeks, so I am hoping that they will host eventually, but my guess would be that they won't. Another thing to consider is that if your anenome is not happy with your light it will move around all the time and walk all over you corals and rock and anything else it can stick it's foot into. Just something else to think about.

Ps. I not wanting to belittle the fact that having a creature that lives off light starving in a tank with low light isn't enough reason not to get an anenome, just offering up something else to think about.
