Anyone have experience with Heteractis aurora?

A friend gave me a Hetaractis aurora anemone recently and I am wondering if many people have kept this anemone and if so what they know about keeping it.

So far this anemone seems healthy and is very interesting. Seems like it would be a cool candidate for a species tank once it grows larger. The tentacles on this thing are bizarre and it has some interesting colors around the mouth and on the base.

i had one in a previous tank a few years ago. they are not common , but can be very nicely colored, and look cool. its also called a beaded anemone. i have a book that says the only common clown hosted in a tank inviroment is the clarks.

Thanks for the info anemoneguy. I'm going to put some pictures up of the anemone soon.
