Rock Flower Anemone

Hello! I am a beginner and have entered this hobby and am well informed and now I never never want to quit. No algae.. quick cycle.. everything has been going great for the last month! This is my very first reef tank and is 40g. The tank is 16 inches tall. When I have 9-12 months of experience, I was wondering if I could keep a rock flower anemone or one that can survive in lower light. My light is a two bulb fixture and has two 39 watt bulbs so that is 78 watts over my tank. I don't care if it will host my false perc clown or not but any anemone will do. I have heared that long tentacle, rock flower, and bubble tip are about the lowest light you can go. Is that true or are there lower light anemones I can keep? Thanks a lot in advance and any help is appreciated!!! By the way, all you reef keepers have very good luck with your tank!
 
A rock anemone MAY be ok in that lighting if it is high up in the tank. I would not feel the same about a BTA, and LTAs will want to be in the sand so the point is moot. If you just want ANY anemone, you could look at tube anemones and Waratah anemones. They both need daily feeding, but have no need for light at all. Good luck!
