The one I am asking about has only been in my tank for a week. I had a rose bubble tip in my older (75 gallon) tank and it was not doing well at all. The lighting was not strong enough (216 watt T5s) and the anemone grew small and always had stringy tentacles. When I moved the rose anemone into the newer 90 gallon with the increased lighting, it developed bulb tips.
From everything I have been reading, long stringy legs indicate a bubble tip is either hungry or is not getting enough light. The bulb tips are a positive sign. To make my lighting even more uncertain; I have read 4 sites posts this evening (the sites only sell lighting of various types) that all indicate CF bulbs concentrate more intense light than do straight bulb types (i.e. T5). UGH....there is SO much controversy in salt water! I suppose I'll just have to keep an eye on my nems.
