I am so jealous of you all! I tried one (probably too early for my tank) and it moved around (and around) and killed far too many nice corals before it died. An expensive lesson for me!
 
I bought one rainbow bubble tip anemone about 3 months ago. It just divided. It is definitely a highlight in the tank. I'm a bit disappointed that my maroon clownfish so far is not interested and stays on the opposite side of the tank. It's definitely one of the coolest things in the aquarium. I don't feed it. It's in a high flow high light area and seems happy.
update: Maroon clownfish attached itself to anemone after about 4 months (one month after above post) and is always in or near the anemone colony now. The anemone divided further and now there are 6 big healthy anemone on the rocks. Clownfish and anemone are doing great!
 
We had one for a while but it ended up not making it our tank do to a growing dino outbreak
