Anemone doesn't like my lights

[TWallace]

My green bulb tentacled anemone seems to prefer shade for some reason. It moves around every couple of days, but almost always ends up settling under a rock, where it barely receives any light. This morning I noticed it had moved again and was nice and visible out front. Then my lights turned on (actinic only at first) and the anemone retracted it's tentacles and moved under a rock within 20 minutes.

Here's my anemone:

And this is the lighting I use.

Interestingly, I noticed that before the lights came on this morning, its tentacles were all straight tipped, no bulbs in sight. Then when the lights came on and it moved, most of the tentacles turned to bulb tipped. I don't know whether bulbs or no bulbs has anything to do with their health.

You know, mine doesn't seem to be very fond of strong lighting either. It lives underneath a rock overhang and is out mostly at night and during the day when I only have 2 of my four lights on and generally moves a little further under the overhang when all 4 lights are on. I'd always heard that BTAs didn't require as much lighting as other anemones, but I wonder if some of them just don't like much light at all. Yours looks pretty healthy to me, though.

My BTA doesn't like lighting as well.

My two BTA (clones) love light. They are in my 58 with 2 * 175 MH + 2 * 96 PC. I swithced the light over (from 3 * 96 PC) about two years ago, they have never looked better.
