what type of anemone is this???

[brutuscz]

I bought this anemone 2 months ago. It was probably mis-labeled in the store as a condy. It is about 5-6inches and greenish in color. The 2 percula want no part of it. I also had my firefish disappear as well as a small purple/yellow pseudo. I guess small fish are out with this one.
What type is it? what can I expect from it as far as growth and reproduction? Any clowns like this one?
Thanks for any information!!!

I don't think it was mis-labeled. It looks like a Condylactis gigantea.

ditto Condy. You might get a Clarkii or Tomato take to it.

It was in a tank with a bunch of pink tips. So, I thought it was something different. Thanks for the information.

LOL...I know!!! The bubble tips threw me off. Do they get very large...or split??

I saw you have the mini carpet anemones mentioned in your information. How big do they get? A local store had them...but I didn't buy one. Are they hardy?
Thanks for the info!!!

C. gigantea can get large (over 12" diameter) but Stchodactyla tapetum stay small (under 5").
I'd consider both of these species "hardy".
