Tank been running 5 months I have 2 sets of blue and white leds
 
I don't feed mine. When I feed the fish the clown feeds the anemone.
I have 2 clown fish so I hope they all become friends over time.
 
What led unit(s) do you have specifically?
Be honest brought 2 sets of amazon them cheap long ones with all the leds but all seem to be doing fine the fish and the Kenyan trees
 
Looks fine to me. Like others have said it looks like an LTA. I wouldn't worry to much about feeding it. My BTA's eat when the fish get fed and they are happy campers. Good luck with it.
 
Kenya trees will grow under anything it seems.

Without knowing exactly what you purchased (sounds like you just got two strip lights), you most likely need to purchase an appropriate light fixture for your tank. That nem, hosting nems, are photosynthetic. Ideally you will want ~250+ par on the nem in order to keep it long term. Typically stronger fixtures are preferred for sand dwelling nems due to the need for light penetration to the bottom of the tank. That appears to be a lta. You could get by for a little while with feedings but it will most likely slowly decline over time.

You can purchase a "blackbox" led fixture (check the lighting forum for recommendations) from amazon if you're limited on budget or check the for sale section for a good deal on used fixtures.
 
4 hours no skimmer is no problem


Don’t feed your anemone

Don’t move your anemone

You are probably fine, but you could probably use more flow I am guessing.

Cover your powerheads, or live dangerously.... choice is yours on that one

Need to know the exact lights, but I would guess they aren’t enough PAR to make the nem happy

Anemones are 95% water. What is your water source, salt, details, etc
