    from what i read they like to be able to burrow in the sand to feel safe. or in rocks so they can completely conceal themselves.

    What kind of carpet do you want? Gigantea or Haddoni?
    They are both pretty hard anemones to keep and both require alot of light.
    Th hard part is to find one that is healthy to begin with, gigantea is harder to keep than the haddoni.
