I have a clarki clown and want to get him a Anemone. I don't know if I have enough lighting. Some people say they need alot and some people say they don't and need to be fed right. Which anemone would you recommend for my Clarki? I have 2 55 watt PC and 2 20 watt atinic.

In my opinion, power compacts are sufficient lighting for anemones....I have a long tentacle under a Customer Sea Life PC 36", and it is doing perfectly fine. Just make sure your water params are good, it seems like anemones are really sensative to that....I've had to watch my nitrates really closely lately. Other than that you should be fine!:)

I am still working on the "right" lighting, but my Clarkii went to all 3 of my different anenomes and fed them also. I know I have a hatian (sp), the other two are up in the air, never seen a pic of the other ones I have on any site I looked at. The one he really loved was almost like a clover, meaning when it expanded it had five (i think) seperate areas, with short tenticles. (I guess thats a 5 leaf clover, but you get the point lol) He lived and breathed in that one, so if someone knows what that is ......let us both know. It has light green and white coloring. HTH and someone can identify it for you.
