Anemone

[Flaxon-Waxon]

I guess I'll ask again. What kind of light, how many inches long is the fixture, and how old are the bulbs?

Oh,I told you was asking to sniper...

Simply isn't enough light to support an anemone. 6 bulb or higher IMO.

I would have to agree with the lighting on this one, but I may also add that my nem thrives under my 4 bulb. In this case, the Coralife life I don't believe has enough umph to it. How many watts are your bulbs?

It was pretty low. I had one and I couldn't keep sandbed LPS on the sandbed.

Nem's can be even more demanding than a lot if corals. Sebaes are notorious for being difficult. They require incredible amounts of light and perfect, perfect water. Meanwhile there are a number of corals that require only moderate light, and a handful that actually seem to prefer some waste in the water for them to use as fertilizer.

How big is the tank? If its a 29g that may be enough but I struggled to keep a nem under 4 x 54w T-5s (2x white 2 x actinic) in my 55g so switched to LEDs

That's right,
I told to give a try with the nem, I guess a bigger tank is better because the water parameter are more stable,some fish store just want to make the sale sometime... I learn from this mistake.... I'll get an anemone when I get a bigger tank(one day)

Led are nice, a little too expensive, but defiantly I'll get some one day
