I second what fish first said. It may be months before you even see signs of a dieing anemone. And by the time it shows signs it is too late to do anything about.
Anemones are delicate creatures. They need intense lighting and most of them wont tollerate any other light but bright metal halides. Only few species do well under fluorescent. They are very delicate creatures and can easily get damaged due to sub-perfect water conditions. And like it was said above, keeping them for several years is far from an accomplishment, they do outlive humans in the wild. Unless you could provide the utmost ideal living conditions, i would advise you not to get too attatched to em.

What anems do you have? I mean the latin name, since common names are usually loosely thrown around and often given to the wrong species. Also what lighting you got over those babies?
