List your experience here if you have rock anemone that die a quick death or a slow process like other anemone.
 
What do you mean by "a slow process like other anemone"? Anemones can live for decades if not longer, a sudden death would indicate disease, predation or environmental factors.
 
I've got 2 Rainbow anemones that's been in my system for at least 3 years ... traded a baby rainbow nem and got 4 Rock anemones in return. A week later none of the rock anemones survived ... go figure :(
 
I have two dozen of them that have been happy in my tank for years now.
 
I like them better than BTA, and I’m raising 8 babies, 4 orange, 4 green. They will move, but are great additions. My BTA split, and then my clown ate both. The clown doesn’t bother the rock nems
 
I've had mine for over a year... survived some pretty bad lows in the hobby to... dinos, I was away so salinity rose... still doing great
