You have 8x65 watt pc bulbs. The problem you are going to have is your tank is too deep for the lights to adequately penetrate to the bottom so if your anemone attaches low in the tank you are going to have a problem. If the anemone (I would recommend a bubble anemone if you want to try it) were to attach within a foot from your lights I would say you would be good to go.

I've got RBTA's in a 24" deep tank under same lighting. They have moved to the bottom, growing rapidly. Started with one, it split into 2, those 2 are ready to split again.
HOWEVER, I must say I got the first one from second or 3rd generation CAPTIVE BRED.

The anemone will move to where they are happy so you will be fine! Happy reefing!

you are correct i have 8 65watt power compacks. my tank is 20in deep from top to bottom of sand. and the lights are 2'' higher. so that would be 22'' i guess.? i have about 170 pounds of live rock in the tank. i could probley add another 130watts of pc lights. vividaquaiums says long tentical anemones require moderate lighting heres a link

Yeah, at 20 inches I would say you are fine for a bubble tip. I was thinking your tank was two feet or more deep. The reason I would recommend a Bubble anemone is because they are the easiest to maintain. IME they are pretty easy actually. I have never had good luck keeping long tentacles alive in my 55 gallon (lit with 4x65 watt compacts) when it was set up. Perhaps I was getting bunk specimens to begin with but they are supposedly the next anemone to try after the bubble anemone.
