Anemone Survival?

[Oscar]

I have been reviewing the Canreef reference papers and anemone threads.

A number of the reference papers suggest that keeping an anemone in a reef tank is guaranteed to shorten their lives. That they can live to 100 years in the wild but commonly die after less than 6 months in a tank. One paper actually has a summary of a survival survey conducted among reefers.

But on Canreef forums there is certain no shortage of discussion on anemones, which species, size of tank, splitting and some on losses.

Can those of you who currently have or had anemones speak to this issue of survival success?
