Just bought five rock flower anemones!

[John Stuckey]

They were $19.95 each from VIP Reef in Miami. Here are the pictures for a couple they have for sale. The five I bought were a little different but insanely colored and generally similar.

My questions are; does anyone out there have any? Any thoughts about rock nems in general? How large do you think these are that I bought? I'm assuming very small because of the price. I'm a little concerned that I'll be disappointed in their coloring under day lights but I'm sure I'll be wowed under the blues.

I have 2... of course any corals, or fish etc that people take pictures of online are done using filters, just blue light and with macro lenses. It's just to make a sale, the coral will never look that way in your tank unless your vision is as good as a macro lense lol. Main reason I don't buy online much unless I have seen the coral in person first. But rest assured your anemones will still look great in the tank, just don't except such detail and color pop.

Those aren't even the ones I bought. I can't find the pics of mine any more. I'm going to see if they'll send me the pics.

My five nems arrived and they are gorgeous. 3 are silver dollar sized and 2 are quarter sized. I still can't believe how low they were priced. I could have a whole tank of these and be happy. However....! I arranged them exactly where I wanted them in an artistic pattern across my sand bed. They weren't feeling very artsy and I woke up the next morning to their opinion of the best spots for them. They like to shove themselves down into crevices and have no interest in sitting exposed out on the sand bed. It made me laugh. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow.

They will move once adjusted to the tank and lights. Mine did the same found a crevice then after about a week, week and half they moved to find a better spot. I have a ultra mini maxi who i have had for about 2 months the past 2 weeks it moves almost every night. Interesting animals.
