    I would have to say no, sorry. It might, be able to survive, but will never thrive, and that is IF it never moves from the top of the tank. I almost killed a BTA by keeping it under less than adequate light. I have been working for 6 months to try to get in back to health and it is just now showing some improvement.

    10 gallon is too small and unstable for an anemone IMO.
