Quick Tube Anemone Question

My LFS has some nice pink / orangeish tube anemone's. Can someone tell me about their requirements, survival rate etc? I have an established reef with mostly softies and lps. Thanks.

As far as I know:

They arent photosynthetic, so they must be fed meaty food items. They do pretty well as long as you feed them. Their tube likes to be buried in the sand. They have a real strong sting, so if you have fish like a mandarin I would avoid them.

I remember when zoanthids were called things like "green" and "orange" and not "reverse gorilla nipple."
