Hight ( Under at least 150w MH)

Hope that help

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.

My 2cents

[thioeh]

I thick you are right, tube anemones should be classify as low light condition, good to point out the mistake.

[babyfishy]

Leather (sinularia) requires high light intensity?

Mine doesnt open... The dealer says my tank too bright.

the info i got from peteducation.com

[babyfishy]

abit confused leh. tube anemone as i gather the info from peteducation.com indicated "medium" light

[DragonGoby]

Nope, like what Travy and Thioeh said, tube anemones are non-photosynthetic. Used to keep a few of mine under almost zero light, and they require feeding even if you provide more light.

[Travy]

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!

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

[nicholasloh]

cauliflower is kinda variable, it has 2 types, one type likes light, one hates it.

[Travy]

WHich is which?

More interested in the one that likes light... hehehe
