    You can also cut the amount of time you have the light on to help it adjust. If your lights will allow, you can remove 2 of the bulbs after a short period of time so it can gradually get used to the new intensity. Too strong lighting will bleach an anemone.

    how does the anem look? I am thinking it might be bleached if it only had 2T5 at the store? Leave it alone...dont move it. Keep an eye on it...

    And honestly...I would return it...even if it is not bleached. How old is your tank?
