"What? anemones are cake to keep, they dont need MH, they dont need any shrimp/crabs/clowns to live with as long as you feed them. they do require a lot of food though. in my 135 the anemone eats the most of anything in the tank other than my eel.

And yes reefneck ive had the anemone for almost 1.5 years and its doing great. Its more than 5 times bigger than it was when i got it and still very sticky and long tenticles."

One year is not a success with an anemone, neither is one that has grown 4X its size... size is not an indicator of anemone health. Anemones can shrink anemones can get large... a fully expanded anemone is usually an anemone thats light deprived.
