How big is it ?
30 gallons I would call your minimum benchmark . Since they can grow to 20” you can’t really have one in a 30 gallon hence the 100 gallon number

Since it’s so small I think you should be ok . Just monitor - it will let you know if your paramaters/lights are off
It could grow quickly. Be prepared to upgrade or trade back to your LFS. We got ours not ten months ago; he could easily fit in the palm of your hand. Maybe five inches across. These days, when he's in a stretch out mood, probably 18 inches. In less than a year!
Lights are out right now so everyone is receding for the night, but I'll grab a pic tomorrow to show you what he's become.
This is what he was when we got him...

I would say your LTA would appreciate a bigger tank, especially if this is your first anemone, for stability. They, as stated above, also get massive and in a small tank they could potentially get out of hand very quickly. But it should be fine in the 36g tank for maybe 5-6 months.
Post pictures when you can, I would love to see your lil' baby.
Good luck and god bless!

He grew way faster than we anticipated! We've got a 220 that's only been up for a couple of months so it still needs a little more time to mature before we move 'Alvin' over. We've already moved the fish.
