You can actually tell a lot about anemones by looking at them.....
Since I had the LTA that Alan now owns for over four years, I will speak about my experience with that particular animal.
The anemone was bleached when purchased. It then began it's journey through our inexperience... It lived a year under NO, and colored up nicely. It lived a year under VHO, and there were no startling differences.
It lived a year under PC, and I can honestly say, that was a period of growth, and dramatic color. (The tank was not that deep however - 25g) The last years it was under MH, and there was no further growth. It honestly wasn't as pretty as under the PC. It's been in powerheads, aquaclear intakes - you name it....
The anemone has ALWAYS been fed btw.
I'm not familiar with PC lighting at various tank depths so I will defer on that, but I know Ed well enough to know he will take extremely good care of any animal in his possession, thus his careful consideration.
