Yeah, sorry, I should have emphasized the surging flow part of my post more. I did mention that part though:

I think a surging and alternating flow is more appropriate for anemones of most types. Just look at our own west coast in fact: look at the where you find the anemones and where you don't. On the rocks on the beach on the exposed ocean side where the rocks are pounded and pounded; whereas in sheltered inlets where you might have some wave action but mostly it's just tidal flow, you'll find a hugely different array of animals inhabiting each zone.
