Light for an anemone

[crox]

I need a little bit of help. I have a 65 gallon with aprroximately 100lbs of LR and 40lbs of LS. I would like to get an anemone for my clowns but I am not sure if I have the right light fixture. I have an PC's fixture with 2 x 96 watt SunPaq Dual Daylight (10,000k & 6,700k) and 2 x 96 Dual Actinic (460nm & 420 nm).
Would I be able to have an anemone and if so what kind?
Thank you.

I would suggest a Bubble Tip Anemone. They can be found in brown, green and the Red or Rose Bubble Tip.
your lighting should be fine for one of those.

And what about corals? Can I put any in my tank?
If I put a sebae, do I need more light?
Thank you Thomas.

In my opinion sebae anemones should only be kept under Metal Halide lighting. If a BTA then I have several soft corals that have never been affected by my BTA's and I have an entire colony of BTA's. I think sps corals might have a bit of problem though. I do have some LPS corals that have not been affected either.
My BTA's get along with:
leather corals (I have three types)
xenia
candy cane coral
frogspawns
mushooms (they will crowd them out though)
They do not get along with
Star polyps (they recede from them)
hydnopora (major sting war)
acropora ( I believe one BTA killed mine)
I have not seen them have any problems with my zoanthids, but I've never seen them near them either. I have never seen them near my monti cap either, nor my plate coral.
If thinking of a sand dwelling anemone then you really should go MH, IMO, for the best chance of success.

My BTAs are all around my zooanthids. Neigther seem to bother one another. Just that the anemone sometimes blocks light from getting to them, but both are thriving. My BTA just split in fact.....first time in 2 years!! :joy:
