Anemones

[salisbury a d]

I went to the lfs yesterday and saw a beautiful fleshy pink and green anemone. It was only about two inches in diameter. This one was living with its foot in the sand at the bottom of the tank. The lighting on the tank looked like standard flourescents but could have been vho.
My question is what are the requirements to keeping anemones such as water conditions movement, lightin and placement.

Personally I'd say min 5 watts per gal
pristine water conditions
medium circulation
well established system
even then its iffy for long term survival
that said I have a outstanding bubble tip that my tomato clown LOVES
been with me for close to 2 months and seems to be getting better every day
