Many people might be against this but bubble anemone's should be fine under your lights. I kept an RBTA happy for about 6 months before upgrading to a new tank (originally 110 watts of PC). though i recommend getting an aquacultured (tank bred) anemone if possible as it adapts easier and should be less demanding. if you are not comfortable with this (totally fine) then i would recommend torches, frogspawns, and hammers; pretty much tentacle LPS. good luck Wiz

My brother in law has a true perc in his toadstool leather, haven't seen any negative effects on the coral.

My clown seems to be hosting a powerhead!!!
He sits there then every now and again does a lap around the tank, then sits back behind the powerhead

I got one a couple days ago and it seems to be hosting behind my water filter.
I have no anemone or coral. Just the LR but I made plenty of caves and hiding places out of the LR so its kinda funny that its chose a water filter :P
