my experience is that there are very few types of anemones that will survive long term in an aquarium. although i haven't done much reading about this in the past year, prior to that almost all of the aquarist experts consistently suggested entimacea quadricolour (bubble tip) were one of the only ones that would thrive. i'd be very surprised and curious if another school of thought has developed.
my bt has split once and i've also had good experience with a heteractus malu in the past year and a half.
in general my suggestion to people is to avoid getting an anemone all together, however if they must, then insist on getting a bubble tip. don't support the harvest of other types until such time as better survival rates can be demonstrated.
