Questions On E.quadricolor

[connorsbala]

Hey
Im going to be stting up my nano marine tank(12 UK gal-15 UKgal) and just findig out about this coral.
Ill be going for FOWLR for now, until the tank is established for a good while and get to grips with it all.
I like the look of the E. Quadricolor (bubble tip) and ive heard that clowns host it. What sort of lighting would i need for it?

Many Thanks

I'd reccomend reading through the anemone guide atop this section connorsbala as E. quadricolor is a nem, not a coral . Long story short, not suitable for a nano tank in the hands of a beginner. Heck, I wouldn't even trust myself with an E. quadricolor in a nano. Too hard to keep the chemistry stable

I've seen them maintained in nanos, but make sure that your conditions are stable (as above) and that you have strong lighting; from what I've read I'd imagine that about 100 watts of PC will be more than enough; less may work with adequate feeding.
