you need to have a well established tank with optimum paramaters. A BTA will require more lighting in my opinion although you may be able to get away with it. (I'm not an expert lol)

it's a very difficult decision to make, not only an expensive decision to make. I probably wouldn't recommend it for you, but then again you could make me eat my words if all goes well. But here's my rule of thumb.
I honestly ask myself, do I really feel that confident about my tank that I can raise this piece of coral yet? and can I afford to take that risk at X price?
Not until recently did I finally get enough confidence to buy another anemone (I bought my first, and only, anemone a few years back, It died a miserable beginner death
) As of late, my larger tank has been doing so well that I finally have the confidence to do it again.
My personal question right now is... Can I really handle a clam? i think so, but at the cost of 50-70? i dunno quite yet...

My BTAs look light years better under the 300W VHO compared to 130w PC on a 25G. Also I would suggest since you are new to the hobby to get some experience under your belt before you try an anenome. I wouldn't put a BTA into a new tank until it has been cycled for at least 4 months.

is that 2x55W pc's? In a 25 gal tank I would say sure. Thats enough light. I have a CSL 2x55Wpc for a sump light and I have an anemone that lives there and a gold stripe maroon clown as well. Both are very happy and eat a lot. BTA are very hardy and as long as you have good water quality, I would not worry to much about it. How old is your tank? If less than a year I would say no.

yea, i know i wouldnt be able to get a rbta at this time bc my tank is still new but main reason i asked was abt my lighting. some ppl say yes, some say no so its hard to tell. just askin for future reference way down the road.
