I agree that it is a very difficult species to keep alive... so were simple saltwater fish years ago... I have been reefing for close to 20 years and this is the FIRST one i have tried because of the level of difficulty.. this hobby is about advancing husbandry of these animals and I believe my setup is stable enough, large enough, has enough light, etc. I would not recommend this anemone to anyone,, I know you were not chastising me,, I just wanted to give some background and reasoning.. hopefully my experience will be enough
