Anemone question

I have had BTA's is the past and know they attach to rocks. But what other anemones attach to rock and not have to have it's foot in sand?
 
Haddoni- Sand
Mag- Rock
LTA- Sand
Condy- Everywhere lol
Crispa & Malu- Preferably sand
Gig- preferably sand. Rock too
BTA- Rock

Gigs typically do not bury themselves in the sand and therefore do not require a sand bed. Although they often position themselves near the rock/sand interface, their foot attaches to the rock above the sand. Also, it is not unusual for them to move higher onto the rock work.
 
And to get a little more specific:

Haddoni -- like deep sand and will bury their foot
Gigantea -- like shallow holes which could be covered with sand, but mine have always liked being in the rockwork
BTA -- like deep holes where they can hide their foot and extend out
Magnifica -- like to be high up on top of rocks (versus in the rockwork) and prefer flat surfaces where they can spread out their foot like a fried egg.
 
Thanks everyone, I am looking for one that will stay in the rock as I don't think my two sand gobies w/pistols will like a nem on the sand bed by them.
