does anemone need nightlight?

hey guys im just wondering and im curious if anemone needs time off of lights? and if anemone needs nightlights. some say they do and some say they even prefer not using a nightlight for nems.. any input is appreciated

 

I always thought the nightlight was to keep other fish safe from accidentally swimming into a nem and becoming a tasty snack.

 

Never consistently used night light for my BTA's. Never had an issue with fish or anemones regarding it's use. LED night lights, I turn them one just to see the tank at night and for no other reason than I think sometimes the light looks cool.

 

I don't belive they need it...when my moonlight turns...only 2 of my anenome's stay out,the other 2 retract until the morning light turns on.Call me crazy but I think the reason 2 of my aneomes's stay out because they know when the moonlights go on...my cleaner shrimp comes out from his rock and pays them a little cleaning visit.I will tell you that moonlights do make your tank look really Co0L and allows you to see all the night crawlers that hide in the daytime.

They don't need one. If you are trying to get certain types to spawn, you would need one that mimics the moon phase. Spawning may not be desirable though. Most people just use them to see what's going on.

 

no no i was wondering because when i turn my moonlight on my nem inflates like its a good sign thats why..
