New Baby Bubbletip: any tips?

[Gallows]

Hello everyone! I bought a bubbletip anemone two days ago. I’ve had saltwater tanks for a good while, but I’ve never actually had the courage to dip my toes into keeping anemones. I went to my saltwater shop and asked several questions, did some of my own research, etc.. My tank is established and my water parameters are great. Flow is nice and the water is warm. The only stock in the tank is this new bubbletip and two oscellaris clowns.

According to the shop owner, this bubbletip is young. He told me to feed a blend of mysis shrimp and bloodworms.

Anyway, I was just wondering if the new addition looks good to you guys? It closes up a little during the day, but at night, it likes to spread out like this. Also, that brown thing came out of it a minute ago. Poop? Sorry if I seem oblivious, I just want to make sure that everything is going well!

It looks bleached to me. Otherwise OK. What kind of lighting do you have?

7000 K high-output LED; I’ve been thinking about changing it, but I’m not sure what lighting is the best. A lot of contradicting info. He likes to hang out in the shallow end of the tank, so he’s usually not more than 12 inches away from the light.

It's hard to tell what "high output" means. Was it designed for a reef tank? Wattage? Most T5 or reef aquaria LED lights have enough blue and violet to get the spectrum up to 10,000 Kelvin and higher. I am asking because BTAs need a lot of light and from the pictures I don't see a lot of coralline algae growing so lighting could be a problem. Are you growing corals? Insufficient lighting will cause a BTA to lose color and bleach.

I have 3 BTAs (it split a couple of times) and they sit right under my lights on top of the rock work. I have 2 T5s and AI Primes. The overhead T5bulb is an ATI blue Plus and the AI prime spectrum is running at 10,000 K.
