define intense~

[aquaman3680]

condis would do ok

[BoomerD]

Condylactis anemones require the same kind of lighting as 'clownfish anemones"...VERY intense lighting...

[aquaman3680]

Thats not true, I have kept one that multiplied many times under florucent bulbs

[BoomerD]

Well Matt, I don't know how many fluorescents or what kind, but, while they may do ok with less light than most "clownfish anemones under sub-par lighting, Condy's are shallow water species, and should have intense lighting to thrive.

The tank was 8 inches tall with 2 flourcents. although i know they could have done better under more intense lighting like you are saying, they still stayed alive and did alright.

Anyways, what kind of lighting do you have on your tank?

just two florucent bulbs. how many watts were your bulbs? what did you feed it?

[aquaman3680]

I fed it squid and they were just regular bulbs but they were power-glo bulbs, 18 watts i think

have you ever tried keeping one in low light?

[BoomerD]

No. I've kept anemones for over 20 years, and have always tried to provide them with adequate lighting. I HAVE kept BTA's, LTA's and Codky's under VHO's, but lots of them.

I used to have a Condy awhile back in one of my first tanks. I only had 1 power-glo fluorescent on that poor tank and he did alright. He ate krill and brine shrimp. Well... he ate those things until one night he decided he was going to eat my LION FISH. I took him back to the LFS and have never gotten another Condy, heh.

if you want to have a reef tank, you're going to have to get better lighting.

i don't know if you're going for Fish Only with an anemone or what, but honestly, it's jsut going to be problematic down the road if you want to add coral with those lights.

Sure there is you could get a Tube Anemone which have some very beautiful colors and aren't photosynthetic but you need to feed them regularly !
Here's some great info:
