? about Rose Bubble Tips

One of my friends at my LFS has some Rose anemones. One bulb tip and the others just regular long tips. He's going to give me the bubble tip, but I want to know everything about these before I even get one.
First my 90gal tank has been up for 6 monts now, and my perimeters are - a stable;
PH - 8.2-8.4
Amm - 0
Ites - 0
Ates - 0
Cal - 480
SG - 1.025
Right now in my tank I have 2 maroon clowns, purple firefish, sand sifter goby, and a baby naso tang.
For my corals I have 2 hammers, 2 frogspawns, 2 red mushrooms and 2 bubbles.
The only anemone that I have is a regular long tip anemone which my big maroon clown is hosting.
The question I have about the Rose is that I heard that they like to move around all the time to get Good water flow, lighting, and just to find a right spot to relax. The Bubble tip that the LFS is always moving around, but sometimes I see it under some LR. Is that normal? I thought they need a lot of light. Also what other type of food would be suitable for feeding? Again, my friend feeds it some shrimp and some silversides as well as some mysis shrimp. Also, if they like to move around a lot, will they do any type of damage to the other corals, or to the other anemone?
Any thoughts and advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
J

they will move until they find a suitable spot that they like. How much lighting do you have? I have heard many people say that anenomes are too much of a trouble to get. I still havent decided if i would like to get one or not.

fishieness,
I have the Current USA 48in Outer Orbit 2x150W 10K HQI-MH 1/ 2x130W Dual Actinic & 6 Lunar Lights.
They are really good to the corals that I have now. All my corals are open and colorful, and the long tip anemone I have now is in a cave. I try to place him in other areas, but he doesn't stay there and always ends up in the same spot.

I really like them. They have the little foot pegs so they stand over the tank, so you dont have to hang them from the ceiling. The good thing about them is that it's already setup. Has the moon lights and everything. I plan on upgrading the MH's to higher watts, and have them blue instead of the white ones, and then probably have the acintics the white ones. It wasnt that expensive. I got them for about $675 on another site.
