Difference In These 2 Anemone?

[reefwisher]

Been trying to find out the difference in these 2 anemone. The Cryptodendrum Adhaesivum (pizza or adhesive ) and the Stichodactyla Tapetum (maxi-mini). They look so much a like from the pictures I have seen on the internet. I have what was sold to me as a Maxi-Mini and right now it is 4 inches across. Any info would be great.

The maxi mini won't get much larger than that, and it's not a host species. Adhaesivum gets much larger and is a host species. At least to clarkii's. Maxi mini's have tentacles that line the parameter of the oral disk and lay flat against the rocks. Adhaesivum lacks these tentacles and is rounded off on the edges.
