Mine has gotten huge!! He's at least 12 inches and we purchased him in June.. He was about the size of yours
 
Hi,

Are yours the white ones? I have head they ae so hard to keep and only live for 6-8 months. What are your thoughts and how do you care for yours?
 
Nicks,
Your anemone is a H. malu. They stay relatively small (max out at about 9-10 inches), need/live in the sand bed. They do need bright light, but not too much circulation. He is a little bleach right now but a healthy Malu should burrow into the sand and attach to the bottom or to a rock under the sand. Goodluck with him.
The bands on the tentacles are possitive ID characteristic for H. malu.
