So I guess, only 5% of all reef owners with
2 years experience can't keep an anemone
longer than that! Want to know how long Anemone's live in the Ocean for? Hundreds
of years!!!
So for those who maintained an anemone for
over 2 years, congradulations and give
yourself a pat on the back. Over, I guess
you have bragging rights on your expert
caretaking

I recommend everyone considering to get an
anemone to read this. Especially newbies
like me. That way you don't feel bad if
yours dies within a few months too jk.
No but seriously, it's a valid paper. As
for the anemone I posted awhile back, it
actually did "not" die, and it is opened
up and looking great. Just hope it lasts
longer than just a few months.

Those hobbyists with 2-5 years experience were not a lot more successful with 30% of the anemones dying in an average of 7 months. Only 5% of those surveyed with 2-5 years experience had kept their anemone for two years or more.
Even among hobbyists with more than 5 years experience 36% of anemones kept were dead after an average of 8 months.
One in 6 anemones in the survey reached the 24 months in captivity milestone. Only one out of every 13 anemones in the survey had been in captivity for 3 years or more. One in every 32 reached 5 years in captivity.
This taken from scientists who did extensive
research on anemones and their relationships
with clown fish.
