why do these anemones keep dying

[rainbow grouper]

Ok so corals anemone died today

i was wondering does anybody know anything about it since the anemones seem to be fine for a few months then they die? Any info greatly appreciated.

There is a lot to consider.....lighting, maturity of tank, water parameters......anemones really need all of these to be spot on
SOOOOOO w/o knowing the answers to all of the above.....really would only be guessing

Any LFS will tell you that Anemone are simple. They just need light and an occational feeding.
That's why they sell so many.
[Rant]Anemone are NOT easy. Anyone that tells you they are for the beginner is a fool. The VAST majority of captured Anemone die within a year. By VAST I mean 90 - 95% of them die within a year. [/Rant]

Once you become fluent in Reef give a captive split Rose Anemone a try.
