I have the current USA orbit led lights for marine tanks. Is that suitable for light for a anemone? I️t works for my bubble corals.
 
The plain orbit marine are some of the lowest output lights available. 0.1 watt diodes and only a little strip of them. While most things can get by with less par than we think, I wouldn’t expect optimal color and health under such little light for an anemone. They’re found in much shallower water than bubble corals

What light would you recommend then? I would prefer to stick with led but if that doesn’t work or is too expensive I can be persuaded elsewhere.
 
Any led fixture with 3 watt diodes or greater with blue and white diodes would be the baseline honestly. But I prefer t5ho lighting over LEDs

Any suggestions? I’m open to new ideas?
 
I’ve got a 50 gallon. 4 foot tank. 16 inches deep. I️t has a canopy so I can’t have hanging lights. The lights must rest on the glass right above the tank. That’s why I currently have the Current USA marine orbit lighting. I would like something like this. Anyone have any suggestions. Can I have 2 strips of this? Should I get the pro marine led? Only thing I need I️t to be strong enough for is rose bubble tip anemones. Would this work??

A pair of the orbit pros would be sufficient.
