Help with incoming Haddon's Carpet Anemone

[Conrad Noto]

I found and ordered a smaller Haddon's Carpet Anemone ( 6") on Diver's Den. Will be here Sat. It is green ( not neon, more pine green) tan mouth, purple disc and some purple patterned beading throughout the green body. I've been researching few weeks and a little more confused. There is a lot of conflicting information. I'd like input only from people who own one and successfully kept please.
1. I was planning to do 3 hour drip, then read I should only temperature acclimate. Suggestions??
2. Lighting, most recommend high light and not too much blues, but can someone tell me in PARS? obviously it will be on sand bed. My sand bed measures from 180par edges to 300par highest, my blues at 60%, my white at 15% at 14'' of water, could turn up if needed.
3. Flow? i've read low, medium, strong, so confused....personally I think strong sounds like too much. I would think it needs enough to blow food in and excrement out, medium on lower end?
Any other suggest?

Thanks

I have a monster and simply emptied the contents into a bucket leaving anemone on the bag for easy removal and I added a quart if water every 20 minutes 6 times (2 hrs) and slowly lowered it into tank. They are somewhat sticky

Quick question, did you keep lighting lower for few days and slowly adjust? or keep your normal light cycle/levels from start?

First day heavy blue, then resumed normal light cycle

I would be more concerned with the nem needing treatment. Do you have a tank setup for treating it? Order some cipro. I would just treat the nem and be done with it. I have two carpets, they both went straight into treatment.

Looking forward to some pictures.

I can if I think it needs it have 48gal stretch hex and full medicine cabnit. Was wysiwyg on Diver's Den, looked healthy. Will see when it get's here, was planning on QT clownfish in the 48gal with copper.... rather lose a nem then bring ich, brook or velvet into display, been 100% clean for 3 yrs. I had major velvet outbreak 3 1/2 yrs ago, drained whole thing. Lost all corals, tubbed and treated fish, killed 400lbs of rock, bleached. Tossed sand, scubbed tank, bleached cleaned everything. 4 months to get all back up.

I treated mine in a 10 gal. Treatment in a 48 gal gonna take a lot of cipro. And when treating, 100 percent water change is done everyday.

How I Cipro

Many of you have probably already seen this before as it's part of a sticky on another forum, but I'm moving the information over to this site as this is where I spend most of my time and want to link this in my Sig. Amoo's Sick Nem Treatment Protocol: Let me start by saying most of my research...
