Lighting for a rose bubble anemone?

What kind of lighting does a rose bubble need. I would really like to get one and I have a false percula in a 20 gal tank/ 40gal system.
Thanks
Gina

Is it a 20 gallon H? If so you could go with the same lighting I have on mine- 130 watt pc Coralife fixture. Has two moonlight leds and three seperate power cords for timers but I just leave the moonlights on 24/7. I have two btas and a lta. That would be the cheapest option I think.

I have 2x150 watt mh over my 46 gallon.

The anemone sits about 12" under water directly under one of the bulbs.

With a 20 gallon you could do one 150 watt mh.

A bank of T5's or pc's would probably work as well. I am just a big fan of halides myself.

I have a 20L with two 150's that are about 9'' above the water.If it's a 20H then one 150 should be plenty.

Thanks for the input. I will post picks once the tank is all stocked.
