2-175 watt hallides good light for the tank

How far down is the Anemone from the Lights Chris? I have a aqua c remora
and I am very happy with how mine preforms. Now with this Being a Atlantic Carpet are you going to get some Periclimenes shrimp. for it or leave it empty?
Again I didn't catch how old this tank is..I hope it work out well for you..Jeff

Just curious,, what make you saythat its an Stichodactyas helianthus (atlantic carpet) and not an S gigantea?

 

[The Apprentice]

Good catch Ron

I am not sure about this Ron As I am not a expert on anemone's But in what books I have at home none say that the S gigantea is a Pink or light purple in color I have seen them all refer to them as Green ???
I have read that the Stichodactyas helianthus is green and the Stichodactyas haddoni in Green and or can be pink so?? Just I am not quite sure but willing to learn. Have you seen or read anywere S gigantea in a Pink color?
