Rock Anemones Rock

Here are some crappy phone pics of my new rock nem garden. They didn't all go were I wanted, of course and they are closed after their long day.

How much light are you guys having good success with? Mine were doing well for 3-4 months and now I feel like they are shrinking and a few have disappeared. A few that are up high are looking great and some down low are stretching a little. I feel like its a cry for more light, but I have not changed lighting.
 
Has anyone tried this acclimation method, the source seems to have great success with rock nems but it just seems strange to me
"Upon receiving place on top the shipping box styrofoam lid. Make sure styrofoam lid is clean. You can place them there for about a couple of minutes so they purge all water from their bodies. You can introduce them to your aquarium after a couple of minutes once they have purged a good amount of water from shipping."

I've "acclimated" my dozen+ RFAs that way. They've always done fine. I also leave the powerheads off in the tank for 10-15 minutes when I first put them in the tank.
 
They seem to really color up under Led lights.
I have one that came as a baby attached to some Florida keys live rock that was the size of a pencil eraser and is about 2 1/2 inches across now. Always fed some blender mush when small then a fingernail size piece of silverside twice a week. Have 4 in a 60 gall cube. One male releases sperm at least twice a month but never had any babies other then the hitch hiker. 3 have never moved at all since placed and 1 moves about every week up and down the same area of rock work. Thankfully it is on the side of the tank so no issue for other corals.
 
Guys should I get one of those rainbow rock nems that are red gren and blue or should I get one of the zebra striped ones with an orange skirt? I'm leaning towards the second option but maybe I could get both?
