Will this RBTA be OK?

I had to get him out of my big tank and into the smaller one. He hid under the rocks in the big tank until he turned white. I out him in a month old 29G BC.

I know the tank isn't mature enough for him, but it's the best chance he has. I'm guessing the 60+times turnover in the big tank annoyed him. The BC was set up with, rock, sand and water from the big tank.

Lights are being order this evening, but right now he's stuck with 72w of light. He has since started to turn red and doesn't look horrible. The clown have found him a little sooner than I had hoped.

I paid way too much for him, the money aside I hope I don't kill something that was doing fine at the store before I bought him.
 
Since the RBTA is not melting and/or dead, it is possible for it to "be OK".

I don't think it is going to do well under 72w of lighting (which you did mention is being replaced, but you did not mention replaced with what?).

I also don't know how well it is going to do with the BC being so "Young", but if you can keep the water stable that would be the important part.

I am pretty sure the Anemone would recover faster if the fish where not with it. Since the BC is so new (and therefore usually less stable), the additional bio-load can't be helping.

If possible, I would post a complete list of hardware that is in place and what is expected. Water Parameters would be nice, but since that data is dynamic, not necessary. Some Pics of the Anemone would also help the Anemone Experts (which I am not) make a better determination of what the Anemone may need for a successful recover.

As always, this is just IMO.
