I've seen them on DD and live aquaria.
I would trust thier anemones.
There are some on blue zoo right now but i've never purchased anemones from them.

I'm putting together an order with this website. They have many that aren't on the website and there are some really nice ones.

Greetings,
I just finished a little obsessive buying binge of mini maxis since New Years and got stuff from several places online:
FraggleReef has a 25% off sale during the holidays. Their prices are high ($30-50 on sale) but the anemones you get are very nicely colored, WYSIWYG and large size. These were the largest of all the ones I ordered. The sale is over though :-(
I bought anemones from cultivated reef as well. They were around 1/2 the price of Fragglereef ($20-35) but they were also half the size and not WYSIWYG. Overall the colors weren't as good as FR but they did send me several very pretty ones.
I finally also bought some through ebay classifieds from a shipper in SoCal. These were nicely colored, larger than cultivated reef, (not quite as large as fragglereef) and about midway in between in terms of price ($10-$50) and were buy 5 get 1 free.
I was pretty obsessed for a few weeks and looked around alot. Some places want top dollar for anemones that don't look all that amazing, but I also find you get what you pay for. Right now, at least from all my looking, that seems to mean between $35-50 for really pretty ones. Some very nice ones can be gotten for $25-35 - they just won't be as large and/or as eye-popping as the more expensive ones.
Given how accepting of forced division as they seem to be, the prices should drop and clones of the prettiest ones should be easier to find eventually...

Wow, kimcmich...thanks for the run down. Right now, it looks like cultivated reef has the best going...Reefkoi had some awesome ones last fall, he was just at our swap last week too... A local reefer has a rock with 15+ mini nems on it for $45, but they are not the Maxi ones, and they're all the same light green color...I might just get it and sell what I don't want...
