got a 46 tank with 2 damsals and cleaner and would like to get a anemone the tank has been up and running for 9 months, my lighting is a standard 25 watt one tube, can sombody point me in the right direction for the cheepest and hardiest anemone i should look into, i have read a pink tip is the way to start

You don't have enough light, I wouldn't buy one if I were you. Anemones have a huge appeal, but they can also destroy tanks if they walk over your corals or die.

what king of light do u recemmend and how much light like wattsdo i need

 

[malkore]

Well, I had almost 5 watts per gallon (2x96w pc's over a 40gallon breeder) and my anemone quickly died, as far as I can tell, due to not enough light.

For something like a BTA, you want at least 4wpg...lower end reef lighting, basically.
