question:
are you looking for an anemone to go in the same tank as the coral frags that you are looking for ?
Anemones (excluding very few specialized) require high lighting such as T5 and Metal halide generally and do not fair well under normal output lighting.
the only anemone you may be able to get is maybe a tube anemone, or maybe a wartah (i think are cold water- but not sure)
probably should stray away from the anemones or do a good amount of research before taking that plunge.
as far as the corals, what type of lighting do you have?
the term "do not require much lighting" gets abused. Do you have the normal output flourscent strips that come with a freshwater setup? do you have power compacts? Everyone has a different idea of "not much lighting"
Please post more information on your tank setup and we will be able to help you so much more!
Also are you interested in a frag pack? how much do you want to spend? and where are you located?
Happy reefing!
Jessica.

I agree... as I have a BTA in my tank under PC lighting as well. And it has been doing well there for over 8 months.... I believe as far as BTA's are concerned PC Lighting can sustain them however they still have to be high watt set ups, and that is still depending on tank depth.

they also require a nutrient rich environment and are supposed to have a very poor survival rate. Please see this thread

and as far as the anemone situation, I do not debate that anemones can do very well under PCs. I just thought that your buying/selling thread was not the place to discuss the variables of owner experiences. And, although I am aware that tube anemones are not TRUE anemones, they do exhibit many of the same physical qualities and can fill the "spot" in the aquarium if the hobbyist is wanting an anemone but does not have the setup for (or does not feel comfortable) with a regular anemone. That was the reason I suggested it to you.
