It will be fine. BTAs and RBTAs are one of, if not the, least stinging anemone. I expect it wouldn't sting your corals.

My BTA's have crawled across my xenia, frogspawn, leather, and star polyps without harm. Go for it.

Anenomes need MH. Although i kept a condy under PC for 4 months. For a condy i would say atleast PC but u really need MH. THhey dont need to much lr, but it will go where it is comfortable. If ur getting it to host a clown think again. There is a slim chance it will host a clown.

MH is the best lighitng avialable today (IMO). Yes it will heat ur water up and isnt cheap. u could put 2-175w MH over ur 55. It would cost about $200 if u look around at used stuff on --. u will have to buy a canopy or get pendants, then add fans. If the fans dont cool the tank enough u will have to get a chiller. THe chiller will haev to sit outside which means u have to drill a hole in the wall. U will also need a pump for the chiller.
Over all cost..........about 1k.
Getting everything then still having the anenome die....priceless
:D
