I would get the 4 bulb sundial since it has individual contoured reflectors.

If you want to spend a little less this:

Clams and Anemones are super high light creatures. You should have a t5 system with individual reflectors for them. The sundial is as close as your going to get to true individual reflectors for a low price.

the nova extreme pro had individually contoured reflectors. they are not true individual reflectors, but they are almost as good.
