Good luck. They are very nice anemones when they are healthy but they seem to only come into the hobby way too bleached.
Thanks for the advice, I just moved a piece of rock from my fuge up to where the nem is. I placed it in the path of the current that keeps dislodging him. It's locking in pretty well, but if the nem stays put for a day or more, I'll epoxy it in to place.

I also pried a colony of acans off the rock that the anemones tentacles could reach if the current was right. I'm sure the nem would have won if it were healthy, but I'm thinking maybe the irritation was causing it to want to wander.
