Yeah Thioeh, I think yurs is more accurate.

But i think tube anemones can live in low light conditionds as they dont have the zoo. algae in their tissue. ;)

I know that for tube anemone... sometimes too bright lights will actually stress it.

I think the medium lights for them means enuff lights to actually see them thats all lah.. HAHA! :lol:

But they open better under the shadows of rocks and other corals. B)
