Default Maxi-Mini Carpet Anemones

Big Al's in Calgary has full tank of Maxi-Mini Carpet Anemones.
They sell them as flower/daisy rock??? for $50
I got a rock with 3, 5"nems and a bunch of babies.
Colors are dissent too, burgundy with green skirt and florescent pink center and chocolate with green skirt.They doing very well in my tank so far.

Sound like you know everything
I didn't post this for discussion, only for local people to go and have a look, as to me it was super good deal.
And I do know how both look like, as I do have both.

don't get defensive....

I suspect if they have them labelled as Rock Flower anemones at Big Al's they probably know what they are talking about

Show us some pics and we can tell easy.

They are NOT flower rocks, MWS is correct they are Maxi Mini's but $50 is a little rich for them, I have not paid more then $35 & yes I have seen these.
