    Hey Guys,

    Picked this up today is it a carpet anemone? If so, any idea what kind? Sorry about the bad picture, it has moved on the rock to a really difficult place to photograph. I'll try to get better pictures, hopefully it is still moving.

    Thanks!

    I agree with 2in10 on it being a maxi-mini

    Based on the size of the snail below it, I don't think it is a maxi-mini carpet, probably a mini-carpet. Technically seems to be the same species, but a smaller morph.
