I recently purchased a tube anemone and have a substrate bottom of crushed coral. From what I've researched it says about placing them in a PVC pipe and adding fine sand substrate what is the best way to go if you have crushed coral substraight. Anyone do this? How did it work and how long of pvc pipe did you use?

Not sure offhand, but here's a bump.

I have special grade sand which is coarser than fiji pink but still not enough to hold the tube anemone in place. Had to use an inch long of 1" PVC buried in the sand to hold it in place. It's been doing well for several months now.
