White Sebae Anemone

[jonnydubs]

I was planning on picking one up on thursday but now Im second guessing my lighting. About a month ago i purchased a new lighting system. Its by CoralLife and has (2) Actinic 65 watt bulbs and (2) 10,000K 65 watt bulbs. Is this lighting going to be sufficient? Its a 55 gallon tank.
Water parameters are good
salt-1.024
amonia-0
nitrites-0
nitrates-5
pH-8.2
I have a protien skimmer, emperor 400 biowheel, fluval 305, and 2 powerheads. About 60lbs liverock. 60lbs live sand.
(2) False perc.s
(2) peppermint shrimp
(1) engineer goby
(1) rock with green eyed zoos
(2) rocks with green star polyps

also will it host the false percs?

I think you'd really be pushing it. Sebaes are very lighting demanding and I wouldn't consider it unless you had MH or T5 lighting (fact that it's white suggests it's bleached) If you really want an anenome you might consider a rock/flower anemone.

Unforunately there arent any hosting anemones that will thrive under Power Compact lighting. Most likely if you buy one it will last around 6 months. Clowns don't "need" an anemone and they often host various diffrerent corals such as a torch coral or frogspawn.
