Carpet Anemone

I just got a Green Carpet anemone. Can anyone give me some help on the care,feeding,and acclimation of these?
Thanks!

WOW...this is definetly one of those animals which you need to research before you buy. Carpet Anemones requite a LOT of light, preferably by halides. They are also notorious fish eaters. I recommend a drip acclimation. It should get most of its food from the light, but a weekly, or even bi-weekly feeding of something meaty (krill, mysis, something) would be appreciated. Good luck! Have any pics?

Also, be wary when handling them. They are one of the few anemones that can cause a severe allergic reaction in humans.

Looks like I'll have to be careful.
