My first one (RBTA) died within a week. Actually it migrated into my sump where I found it later all shrivelled up.
My next RBTA did great, I forget how many years I have had it, 3 or 4 years at least.
The difference was the first BTA came from a store, the second BTA was a clone from SamW I believe.
Get a clone from someone rather than one that has been collected from the wild, shipped etc.
My BTA has now split into 5 parts, 4 of the BTA's are under T5 lighting doing great, the 5th BTA is under pc lighting doing great.
IMO BTA's are easy to keep for any competent aquarist, other types of anemone I would stay away from unless I had specific expertise and a specialized setup for the anemone.
