Long Tentacle Anemone - how big can I expect them to get? Pics please

[Swayze27]

I have a neon green and a purple LTA and I want them to get huge. How big can they typically get and post pics if you have one that's good size.

I don't have any super large ones at the moment but I've had them reach 12" easily. My clowns that hosted my pinkish LT would feed it every time I fed the tank, this resulted in a huge Anemone. My sand wasn't deep enough for that big of one and it moved and got sucked into a power head

18" is typical diameter of full grown LTA

Even in captivity ?

Yep, that's what my last one max'd out to.

I had a purple one who's oral disc was about 18 inches. With the tentacles spread out, it took up about 24 inches area. All corals within 24 inches had to be removed.

That's what I want, an anemone to host my dining room. Kinda like the plant on little shop of horrors
