Long Tentacle Anemones

Why? Just curious :)

As a rule of thumb anemones need similar stability as sps, which is very difficult to achieve in a 10g tank. Long tentacle nems burry their foot and thus need a relatively deep sand bed.

If it survives it will relatively quickly outgrow the tank they can quickly expand, if not physically then in bioload. Think of an anemone as a large fish when it comes to bioload.
 
LTA max's at 18" which not only will be too big for that tank, but will always be right up against pumps or intakes.

Rock flower would be a better choice.
