Bubble tip anenome - Current USA TrueLumen Pro deep water blue LED

Hi,

I have a 55 gallon aquarium with two strips of 48 Inch Current USA TrueLumen Pro Deep water Blue LED StripLight.

Will this be fine for a bubble tip anenome? I only have blue LED on the strip. Do they need some white or is all blue ok?

Here are the specs of each strip (I have two)

Color: 445nm Blue
Watts per strip: 30 (60 total)
Number of LED per strip: 288 Blue

Typically that type of fixture is suitable for supplemental lighting and not intended as the main lighting source..

Its unlikely to be suitable for light demanding creatures/corals.

You will need something more powerful. Look into one of the countless black box led fixtures available.
