I know these can do quite well with very little light but I can’t seem to find much information on how much light they can handle. In my new lagoon build there is a nice open area in the middle of the tank that I would love to have a rock flower garden at. I don’t know the exact par, but my best guess would be in the 200-225-ish range. how high can you go and still have these do well and maintain their color (and stay put as I know they don’t move around as frequently as many anenome a, but can still move around if they are so inclined).
thanks,
Matty
 
What flow rate do you recommend, as well?
 
Id call them a Med ./ Med light ./flow they can handle alot of light if they are acclimated but most breeders keep em in like 100- 150 and med flow ..
