Would a Pink Tip Haitian Anemone survive in my 24 gallon jbj nano??? The nano has (2) 36 watt combo bulbs and remote ballast, 290 GPH submersible pump.

Yea he should be fine in there. Just make sure you don't have a heater that is horizontal near the bottom, I have had an instance where one got down there and cooked himself

i wouldnt put one in that small of a tank honestly they get rather large and move alot so they can cause problems with the rest of the tank.
this one was HUGE and grew very quickly it was about as buig as 2 softballs side by side

Some more info is needed.
How long has the tank been set up? anemones need well established and stable tanks.
What else are you hoping to house in the tank? Anemones occasionally will roam. They have the ability to kill many corals. In a smaller tank a raoming anemone can be a disaster.
I'm not familiar with your lighting, so I can't say for certain. Anemones are among the most light hungry creaturea available. I am uncertain if you have sufficient lighting.
I'm moving this to the nano forum so that you can get more help.

As Journey mentioned they need intense lighting. You previously mentioned combo bulbs. I assume you mean the stock PC lights. If that is the case, an anemone won't stand a chance and will probably die slowly over 6 months or so.

Bumping this... come on you Nano folks... Don't let me down. I was sure some of you had experience on the lighting of this tank.

hmm maybe i should cancel my order here on swf. Im really new to corals and anemone. My tank probably cycled for about 3 weeks now soo its a very new tank!
Hmm i placed an order yesturday before you guys gave me some info but this is what i ordered:
1 x 50 Empty Hermit Crab Shells
1 x Gold Stripe Maroon
1 x Flame Angelfish
1 x Pink Tip Haitian Anemone
1 x Mushroom Polyp - Green Ricordea
1 x Blueleg Hermit Crab - Group of 10
2 x Mexican Turbo Snail
1 x Nassarius Snail - Group of 10
1 x Cleaner Clam
1 x Sally Lightfoot Crab
Any suggestions?? O ya the flame angelfish is not going in my nano. I got a 75 gall fish only w/lr. Anouther question for ya. Maybe i should put that pink tip haitian in my 75, how much lighting would i need for that??
