you may be able to take it to a LFS in exchange for store credit.

Mine is gettign pretty large as well (8-10" diameter with tentacles), but my wife loves it, so i don't know what i'll do with it.

I suppose i'll hope i can keep it around until i have a larger tank and the 46 can be "hers" and she can have her condy and damsel in it *lol*

My advice is to take it back to wherever you got it and do some research on anemones before getting another one. Either that or get a bigger tank.
If you can't take it back, then post it for sale on the selling forum of this board and see if you can send it on to a better home.
Good luck!

NEVER return fish to the wild!!!!!

You will unwittingly add disease and non native creatures to an established natural reef.

I might've misread that, but I thought that he had meant that he had gotten a wild caught Condy from a LFS.

take it to the pet shop. dont expect to get very much for it though. they retail for cheap and size isnt a factor
