i would like to know how can i acclaim it easy way and how to take care of it and how to feed it and what to feed it

Anemones need high lighting and well-established aquariums, minimum of 6 months IMO. For a 29g I'd say to have AT LEAST 3x65 watt PC lights. They eat meaty foods like mysis, krill, silversides, etc. 2-3 times weekly.

for a rose bubble tip anemone i heard that 2x65 is good enough for bubble tip anemone

 

[viper_930]

It's my opinion and also my experience that even 2x65 watts and 2-3 week feedings is not enough.

2x65 would work in a 29gal tank, nothing bigger. And anemones should not be kept in that small of a tank except by experts as water parameters are tough to keep in that size tank.

How much live rock do you have? 130 watts is going to be extremely minimal for the anemone, which means it'll probably want to get as close to the light as possible.
For what it's worth, I have now successfully kept a rose BTA in a 29 gallon tank for 6 months. This is with 35-40# of live rock, good flow, light fish load and 225 watts of VHO lighting. My anemone split recently so I now have "triplets" :happyfish

First of all its always better to find one that is aquacultured, that is tank raised. Any anemone should be first temp acclimated in the bag and then drip acclimated for at least an hour before releasing it into the tank. From there I always say that there is about a two week acclimation to your tank while it is new in your new enviroment. Then there is the acclimation to your lighting depending on what that is.
These are photosynthetic animals and they simply must have good lighting for them to survive. So plan on getting the best lighting you can afford for them. These choices would include PC, VHO, MH or combo of PC/MH orVHO/MH. In a 29 gallon tank you should be looking at something in the 5 watts per gallon range or 145 watts over a 29 gallon tank. Some might also say 4 watts per gallon or 116 watts over a 29 gallon tank, this is an absolute minumum for a Bubble tip anemone. Its always better to get the better lighting. Even the best lighting does not guarentee success.
Remember your water quality, always keep it as good as you can.
If you need sites we can't list them for you, just do a google search.
