I just read the Host Anemones - All You Ever Wanted to Know thread.

In it, there is no mention that False Percula clownfish will host in these anemones. Is this true, that they don't host this kind of anemone?

With regards to the lighting issue, from people that I have heard of and read here online, many people do keep this kind of anemone under PCs (about 260-280 watts), But I think this is the only kind that can "thrive" with this lighting. All others need Metal Halides if I am not mistaken.

I just fed the anemone a piece of krill that has been soaking in Selcon. The krill stuck to the tentacles and I am assuming its currently in the process of eating.
