Bulb Anemone

[ZBT3091]

Will a 48" PC 4x65 watt two actinic two 50/50 light be insufficient for a bulb anemone (E Quad.)? What about a carpet or sebae? I'm looking for an anemone that will do well under this light and not move alot

No

so my light is NOT insufficient?

What size tank do you have. Definately count the sebae and carpet out with that lighting. Depending on the size, specifically height, of the tank you might about able to keep a BTA.

Its a standard 75 gallon tank. Idk the dimensions, and when i roughly guess them everyone gets mad and tells me im lying about my tank . I know its 48 long. I think its 48x18x20. So 20 deep. I have a pretty deep sand bed though, about five inches. I could throw it on top of some rubble rock and get a few more inches up. My goal is to isolate it and keep it away from other corals (polyps, softies, mushrooms). I would put it on a LR island on the side of the tank away from any other rock

you can not isolate an anemone they will go where they please

ZBT,

I think your tank would be too tall for the PC lighting to be sufficient. ANd trying to isolate the anemone probably won't work, it can easily detach itself and float to another place in the tank. If you're really worried about it moving around, I wouldn't get the anemone.

okay, thanks for the help. are there any corals that a clown (probably maroon) will host without damaging it

 

[nanoreefer22]

Maroons tend to be very aggresive with their host, I think they would damage any coral that they would try to host.

fwiw my false perc has been hosting in my goniopora for about 6 months with no negative effects as far as i can tell.
