I have a rose anemone and it's been healthy and beautiful since the day I brought her home. My two true perc clown fish wouldn't be anywhere without her. I have experience with carpets, sebae, and ritteri anemones, this is by far the easiest I've kept. From the LFS the color has changed greatly, from clear with pink tips to deep red with pink tips, this tells me much about lighting and feeding before I received her. Hopefully your 30 gal has the proper lighting, circulation, and water quality for an anemone. It took me a few years to get it right.
