Default Is bubble-tip anemone right for me?

Hi! I have a rose bubble anemone and have had excellent luck with it. I've
had it maybe a year or so and it's only moved around once or twice. I also
have a maroon clown that sets in it all the time. Currently have a 46
gallon tank with 2 (96) watt compact lights. Seems to be happy with the
clown. I feed it every couple days a cube of Prime Reef. I would recommend
getting a clown to go with it. For some reason anemones seem happier with a
clown fish.

Hello,
Thank you for the detailed replies.

I have 460W of light over 90 galons.
According to two different test kits water is close to perfect (PO4 is
at .010 or so, other params OK)

I asked the LFS where they got the anemone, and they "were not sure".
Other store has couple tiny (2") "offsprings" (captively "split").
Their "mom" anemone is 7+ years old, and according to them reproduces
often. They want slightly more, but that is a good store, so I'm OK
If I end up buying one, I'll try to get captively bread.
Are captively bread anemones hardier than wild ones?

Can someone recomend a decent book on anemones?

Thank you
Yuriy
