A small carpet anemone (*Stichodactyla tapetum*) sold loosely as a "flower anemone," with a dense carpet of short tentacles in vivid green, purple, orange or tie-dye combinations. Compact at roughly 2–4 inches.
📜 Backstory
Sold as "Maxi-Mini," "Mini-Maxi" or "Ultra Maxi-Mini" carpet anemones by Aqua Imports, The Coral Farm and many vendors. It is *Stichodactyla tapetum*, a different genus from the *Phymanthus* rock flower, but the names overlap in the trade and it is graded by color from wild collection. Included because hobbyists frequently group it with flower anemones; origin is wild import.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place on or near the sandbed under moderate light (around 150–250 PAR) with moderate flow; note it packs a strong sting and won't host clownfish, so keep it clear of prized corals.
