How much light do Anenomes require?

IMO , you should start with something hardy. Like a BTA. If you succeed and can keep it long-term.. then advance to a harder to keep anemone. Just a suggestion, may save you some money and headaches. I know that once you start getting into carpets, sebaes, and magnificas.. things get a bit more tricky. So make sure you read up. Anemones are great!! But to keep one requires quite a bit, and your research and preparation will pay off big time.

I would go with a long tentacle over a BTA if you have halides, because they will stay in the sand and not move all over your rockwork knocking down corals and burning them.

But second to a long tentacle, I recommend a BTA as well.

i was looking at both today in a store. i like both types...guess i just have to really read up before i make any kind of decision.

with this marine tank im treating it much differently than my freshwater tanks. with my freshwater tanks i was too much of an impulse buyer, "oh...ive been looking for one of those FOREVER!! better get it now...." lol

its safe to say i learned my lesson, and havent bought fish in around a year. actually i just cleared out well over half of my fish.lol

im down to a small tank of africans and my flowerhorn.lol
