This specimen is on Live Aquaria, I'm looking for any information on it. It's scientific name is Heterodactyla hemprichii.

I've been to google, but found nothing, mainly because this species doesn't seem to have a common name. The main things I'm looking for is lighting requirement, temperament, care level, water flow requirement, max size, and also anything on what it eats. Thanks!

Sea anemone
Heterodactyla hemprichii
Another anemone with short tentacles, this one is Heterodactyla hemprichii. This one also never has associated
anemonefish, although it is usually home to a pair of commensal shrimp. This species of anemone usually lives with
its stalk extending down into a hole in the reef and just the oral disk exposed to provide sunlight for its symbiotic
zooxanthellae algae. Different individuals vary considerably in color.
