nano cube anemones

[nanocuber7]

now i know you need alot of light for an anemone and that the nano doesnt have enough light but i saw 3 bubble tip anemones in a nano cude at my LFS and they are doing fine. and they have been in there for about 4 weeks and have been doing fine.

Can you get a pic of them? I'm betting they are bleached, or at least will be within another month.

Point is that an LFS can always take the anemones out and place them in a larger tank under better lighting, most of us can't get away with that.
Usually when talking about anemones they would benifit from the best lighting you can afford.
Anemones don't belong in nano tanks under 29 gallons IMO.
They are hard enough to get them to live for one year for many experienced aquariusts.

I have a friend who has a nano with a custom extra pc lighting-

Ahh yes, I saw those too. You can fit like 3x24 watt PC lights + 3x10 watt T-5 lights.
