Here is my question. Under what lighting do bubble tip anemones look the best visually? 20k? 14k? 10k?

I am planning on starting a nem tank with mostly rose bubble tips.

I use 14k.If I get to much blue I cant see th ereal color of the RBTA.With 14k its right where it needs to be.Just enough blue and white to get the coloration of a RBTA right.10k's seem to make the colors to yellow to me!

Okay. That's what I was thinking. 20k would wash it out, 10k would look too yellow. I want to add some GBTAs and some rainbows if I can find any also. What do you think about those?

I'm thinking about a Crisp white 14k w/ a pair of blue powerbrites.
