My free Mushroom

I was at LFS today and my Girlfriend found this in the 600 gallon fiji live rock tank. I added to more small pieces of rock to make 2 pounds. I got it for $9.
The guy didnt look to happy about it.

I also think it looks more like a maxi mini anemone (that's what they call it).

there are two varieties of mini anemone...the maxi which grows to about 6" and a the mini which doesnt get any bigger then 3"...until it grows up there is no way to know whether it is a mini or a maxi...either way it is a nice anemone, they retail around here for about 15-20 bucks..
