Gigantea carpets, S. gigantea, are certainly the most challenging to keep of all the host anemones. They are very beautiful, colorful and seem to do OK in community reef tank. I don't think they have the reputation of being a fish eater although this may be due to their rareness rather than not able to catch and eat fish. They are difficult to get healthy and difficult to keep alive. They do well with very bright light and seem to need a lot of random water movement.
Right now I have three Gigantea in my care. A green on that have been in captivity for almost 10 years although I just recently acquired him from a friend. The other two Gigantea’s, a yellow/brown and a purple that was imported 5/1/2012. All are doing well and have grown by leap and bounds since become under my care.
I am putting a system together so that I can keep all three in the same aquarium. It is coming along well. In the mean time, here are some pictures of the three anemones
