    Power Compacts arent enough for a anemone. They need t5 or metal halide to thrive.

    It might live, but it won't thrive.
    Pc doesn't have enough par that nems require. They need more intense lighting.

    I agree.. On my 1st 29gal I had an anemone with PC. That poor thing kept of moving to get it's proper lighting, to the point is got sucked into my filter intake & died. I was lucky it didn't take out my whole tank when it died. I didn't get another one until I had proper lighting.

    He could go with LEDs as well..
