Lighting anenmonies

[neosoulman]

Im about to purchase my first bubble tip anemone today. I have a 80 gal tank with 2 clowns, a blenny and 2 blood shrimp. I currently have the lights on timers for 9 hours a day. I have MH lights, whites and blues.
My question is with the new addition of the anemone, should I increase the light to more like 10-12hrs a day?
I also run the moon lights 24hrs.

IMO, find out what they are doing (place where you are obtaining it from) and go from there!

Depending on what type of lighting it came from you may want to adjust your lighting.. For now use your regular photo period and then watch the reaction from the anemone.

I agree, learn from the lfs what the current lighting schedule and lighting type they have had and then, when you get the anemone, watch the animals reaction and moods to the changes.
I believe in tailoring your tank husbandry content and schedule according to how well and happy your inhabitants seem.
Good luck to you.
