It's big!! It's an anemone, so in general it's hard to keep. They sure are pretty. Not very different in terms of care than the other anemones though.

Ooh, make sure you have enough light for an anemone! We got one, but did not have enough light and had to give it back.

They need more than 6 watts per gallon of water.

Lots of bright light, lots of room. They can get to about a foot long and need a bigger tank than 55gal. From what I have read they can grow quite large and like to roam, so be prepared to move things out the way.

Or keep an anemone tank instead of having a reef tank.
