I got a very special shallow tank that is 12" deep and has Stichodactyla Gigantea and it's the only invertebrae in the tank other than snails, pods. It's very demanding especially when it comes to lights. Out of the three common carpet anemones in the hobby, gigantea, mertensii, haddoni, I read that this carpet anemone always live in very shallow water or tide pool or something. So I have 150W 6500K MH. Might upgrade to 250W later but don't think I need it yet. When i saw it in the store it seemed to be in good condition but was climing towards the light on side of the glass because there were no rocks in that tank. In my tank the anemone doesn't try to go on rocks or climb on the glass and it's eating well. I guess it's healthy so far and I hope it stays that way.
