Chili Coral

[Niger12]

I just bought a Chili Coral today and I know they require very little light. Will it hurt any thing if it is under 220W of PC's in a 35g tank. The reason I ask is my Maroon Clown does not like it and pushes it out of any of the caves or over hangs. He only leaves it alone if it is in the open.

IME they may get algae growth on them in the light if they don't get much current. What are you going to feed it?

Right now I have some stuff from Corallife calle Invert Smorgasbored and Zooplankton. Is there something else I should feed. Also this morning the coral had laid over on a rock. It was standing yesterday and last night. I have seen pics of them like this is it normal. Here is a pic of the new guy.

Also there is pretty high flow in the tank. My tank is turning over around 15x per hour. There is a powerhead on the back of the tank just above and to the left of him so it is a pretty high flow area.

Update the Chili is standing back up again he must have just needed some sleep.

Icebear the picture is of an anemone on a tidepool off the coast of Oregon. I like them but have yet to research what kind it is and would it live in a tank. I know the water does not break 55 degrees in the summer.

I have a friend who is an aquariest if I am spelling that right at the Oregon Coaste Aquarium and they keep them there. I just always forget to ask him if I could put one in my reef.
