Did you add him carefully like it suggests on the site here? You know, the whole drip-drip system? Usually, that is the reason that anenome have problems. From my experience, anenome are even harder to add successfully than fish. But that's just me.... :D

what a great method!
Anemones are extremely delicate creatures. Its surprising to hear that psychoskater has kept a poorly introduced anemone for as long as he says he has. Im not sure of the number but i think it was less than 4% of anemones for the hobby survive in the tank. Thats a 96% failure rate. Alot of dead anemones.
SnowFlakeJason:
What are your lighting conditions.
Do you have a pretty strong current?
Are you feeding meaty foods?
do you use any kine of phytoplankton?
Good luck with your anemone.
