Help ID "mini-mini" anemone

[bhsgk]

so i originally acquired these little guys from a fellow reefer who got out of the hobby in 2011. I originally had three, two of which have split at least once. the third has not split at all and is the largest of them all. i spot feed them all once or twice a week with frozen mysis or brine

i took these pics just a few minutes ago while the lights were out and there was no editing done to them at all.

this is the largest of them all and the edge of a standard carpet anemone in the top right corner:

the original two are the top two, there is one more clone on the other side of the rock:

Looks like ricordea florida

Kind of looks like the rock anemone that came with my rocks.

They are the original mini carpets, they were around before "maxi mini carpets" caught on.

Like so...

wow! the guy i got them from (chuck), was originally given a single specimen from a guy that commented on that thread (gimplar).

do you think that the species is still s. tapetum? i thought that was the species of the larger "mini" carpets?

Stichodactyla tapetum for sure

There was never a new name created when "maxi minis" caught on. I'm sure there are uber-scientists in a stuffy room somewhere trying to decide which gets renamed and what to name it as we speak. :lol:
