Carpet anemone Retracting when lights turn on

[Simran]

This is very strange to me.
about a week ago i purchased a Medium sized carpet anemone. It seems healthy but but has a strange habit of hiding when the lights come on to an extent that it is almost hiding under the rocks right now. Although when the lights turn off it fully extends and looks great. I currently have it placed at the bottom of the tank and im using PC lighting. is this normal? should i try and move the anemone to a more shaded area?

I would leave it alone. PC lighting "should" be ok, how old are the bulbs? What type of carpet, picks? Water prams? tank age? How did you acclimate the anemone?

From the title I thought you brought it home from an LFS using PC light and put it under powerful halides, but thats obviously not the case. Is it sticky? It may be still aclimating, but long term I don't think that PC is an acceptable light source for a carpet.
