Usually the big killers of anenomes are:
1) inadequate lighting
2) inadequate water conditions
3) powerheads/pump intakes
If possible, always look for a captive bred/cloned anenome. These will be much more accustomed to aquarium life and a much better choice. Also, make sure your system is mature enough and your water conditions have become stable (at least 6 months after a tank has been set up). Anenomes, while beautiful creatures, are not nearly as forgiving as some other things availble to aquarist that can also be used as serrogate hosts for clowns.
