Acclimation of Anemones

[Swbvegas]

So I'm curious...

What anemones do you prefer, and how do you acclimate them?

Currently struggling to keep an anemone, but I've only tried sand attachers, and I've definitely not had any of my clowns host one.

What's your best advice?

Well... a BTA died at night a few weeks ago and nuked my tank, killing all my fish and one shrimp by morning. I'm super scared to ever try another nem because of this, so I got an elegance coral this weekend and it is awesome! Has a similar look to an anemone - a ton of tentacles (well, technically polyps) waving in the current. Just another idea if you're struggling to keep nems!

Never acclimated either of my nems. Just took them out of the container and tossed them in. Rainbow Bubble Tip and Black Widow.
