bubble tip anemone


I have a fairly new 90 gal, (about a month old) it finished its cycle, and i've had 2 clown fish and a couple of soft corals in there for some time now. I was wondering about a Bubble tip Anemone. I am using T5HO lighting starting tomorrow, and was wondering if a bubble tip would be ok in my tank.

If so, what type of care should i worry about for this specimen? Feeding, tank placement etc.

Any additional information on these guys is much appreciated! thanks

BTA are a great addition to a tank IMO(in my opinion) .I think your tank is too young to have a BTA . You should wait at least 6 months but that's JMO .The tank needs to be very stable.Please post your tank parameters .
The BTA usually will move around the tank until it finds a spot it likes or you can try to get it to set it's foot in a deep hole on the rock or crevice. Most hobbyists are not successful with them . They get chewed up by power heads or get stuck to intakes on HOB filters . The tank needs to be basically "baby proofed" . Lighting should be fine . Try to take a pic of the nem before you buy it and post it .Most are bleached and unhealthy .There are however LFS that carry very nice stock and you can get a good one but need a stable environment . I have been nursing a nem since last October and he's still nowhere near healed. I have to feed him every other day with small pcs of fish .
Can you also let us know what kind of system you have ? Sump,skimmer etc

+1 on waiting...6 months is about minimum IMO...even thought the nitrogen cycle has settled out other things will going on in your tank for the first year...and nems are much harder animals to keep.
