it has all the 'charecteristics' of an anemone as far as feeding. That being: tentacles, stinging, grabbing, meat-eater.
Supposedly it will grab whatever walks by, but I have never had any fatalities and mine is in a tank with very susceptible prey such as hermies, snails, nudibranch, pompom crab, and my late mandarin.
- just like a anemone but in a tube, and doesnt need light. (thats the short version)

No not typically, Im sure there has been the exception but they are primarily nocturnal. And dont respond in the same way when something approaches it or to allow something hang out in its tenticles. When my cleaner shrimp tries to rifle through my tube anems tenticles it closes up and dives under the sand.

mine is open 24/7 although at night it opens about 15-20% more- but not much just like I said 15-20% more.
Hes right in the front center of the tank and is a great eyecatcher because of his colors.
I do not believe there is any way a fish could host this anemone.
Heres a pick just the other day at like 3pm

Hello there, I remembered this tread from the photo compitition. I really want to get one of these. I just wanted to confirm that the animal will survive without excellent lighting. The SWF site says the purple tube's need strong lighting. Is there a difference between the colors?

No SWF description is wrong. These animals are completely non photosynthetic. But along with that it also means you need to target feed this animal.

Raw and seafood in almost any form. Silversides, clam, mysis and raw shrimp all work well.
