Anemone information and care thread

[Reef Keeper 18]

Hey guys. I love anemones. But it seems everytime I buy one,as soon as it starts looking good, it dies. I've had two BTA's. One of my personal favorites. I have hailides. Nitrates are around zero. Nothing seems to be out of place. Yet they die. But only once they're looking happy. I keep up with water changes and everything. So now that I'm looking to get a new anemone, could you guys help me out w. info.? Post your pics of your anemone, why you like it, and what lights you run it under what your tank perameters are what you feed it. All the info needed to keep it. So all the people like me won't go through their money buying enemone's that end up dieing suddenly.
