New clowns and their home

[tankdvr]

I finally finished upgrading my tank to one that can house an anemone. I stopped by my lfs to see what was in stock and they had just gotten a local shipment of black false perc babies. I couldn't resist and had to pick two up.

So I looked around for a home for them, but all they had in stock were bta's so I passed. I didn't want to get one that climbs all over my rockwork and kills my sps. I stopped by another shop on my way home to see what they had. They had a really nice anemone that they classified as a long tentacle. It's a pale blue/grey color with green tips. It seemed very healthy, it stung my non stop as I transferred it into my tank. Here are a few shots with just the actinics on (probably won't have my halide on for a day or two). By the way, can anyone give me a more accurate name than just long tentacle?

Get on bigger tank and lighting ASAP

A 250 watt mh isn't enough light for one? Also, it's only about 3-4 inches across right now, and it'll be the only thing on the bottom of the tank minus a small acan colony. I figured a 50 gallon would be enough for the time being.

That's fine for light, just going by your statement of light coming soon.
It may start to search for light right away and move is why I say get on it.
Cover intakes.

Sorry, I need to update my info. I've got the 50 up and running already with a 250 watt mh and two pc actinics providing the light for it. The water and about half the rock came from the 20 gallon that I tore down, and the rest was rock that I cured for a few weeks before setting up the tank.

Thanks for the id on the anemone. It seems to be settling in nicely, digging a little pit to stick it's foot in the sand and opening up during the day. I'm going to try and feed it a silverside tomorrow to see if it's up to eating yet. I need to work on my camera skills a bit to see if I can grab a picture that reflects it's true colors. It's really stunning under full light.
