Anemones under my lights?

[Kingumar]

I am planing on getting an anemones, i wanted to know which one would live under my lights.
I have a 55gal reef setup. 4x54W T5's.

Something that will look nice?

What type of fixture? Individual reflectors or not? I assume its T5HO?

 

[Kingumar]

yeah t5 ho and i yeah individual

that's really on the low end, IMO. Maybe a bubble toward the top, but be sure to screen off your powerheads. They like to move if they're not happy. Good luck

Lighting would be plenty for bubble tip anemones placed anywhere in the tank.

FWIW, I have an LTA in a 65 gal (it is only 16" tall though) with similar lighting, and it has colored up quite nicely from bleached when I got it, and it sits on the sandbed. A BTA would probably be a better bet for your tank as it could climb as high as it needed to to get the light it wanted, assuming you had LR for it to climb.

Bubble tip would be great in your tank.

I have several RBTA's in my 58ga. tank that has 3x39W T5 lighting, and I've had no problems at all having them thrive in all areas in the tank. I have one near the bottom right now that is almost 8" across. I even have a baby that made it all the way to my sump, and is growing under my 14W CFL screw-in fuge light. RBTA's are much more hardy than most give credit to (as long as your water quality is good).
