i had a sebae (i'm guessing, never really figured out for sure) for a week before it decided to say hello to my powerhead <img src="graemlins//dead.gif" border="0" alt="[dead]" /> my roomate had a bubble anemone for about a year and it just recently wiltered away and hasn't been seen in a while. i won't get another one though. my clown didn't even like it anyway.

I have a sebae for about 1 1/2 years now. He's been through alot including a power head that chopped all but 3 tentacles of his about 8 months ago. He received a serious trimming but fully recovered,

I forgot, I also have a tube anemone for about a month- green centered.

Got a sabae for 4 months now and it looks healthy, even though it's died yellow.

With that said, if you plan on getting one try to get a captive bred anemone, and do as much research on their care as possible. Some are much hardier than others, and some are near impossible to keep alive. They can be one of the hardest creatures to keep, and a mature tank with proper lighting and water quality is a must. HTH
