a DWARF or MINIATURE rainbow BTA?!

[Salty Sea Flowers]

this may seem like an idiotic question, however, wild imaginations love to inquire the possibility—

"is there, was there, or could there... ever be such a thing, as a dwarf or miniature, rainbow bubble tip anemone?"

backstory (optional read):
i acquired an rbta from a close friend of mine. they were getting stationed overseas and bwere breaking down their tank. they said it was healthy, happy, doing great and had no issues. upon recieving it, it actually ended up being, no bigger than a quarter, even when fully expanded. so, i fed it a tiny bit, and over that same night, i woke up to see, it had actually split. the split-off, is the literal size of a dime, even when fully expanded. they're quite cute, honestly!

in the picture below, they are in a 2" inch mushroom basket, side by side, and have not bothered to move from where they are. i really thought that it was far too small and not mature enough, to split like it did. anyone have this happen before? at this tiny of a size?

On one hand, it could be a stress split, caused by the stress of changing tanks. On the other hand, there are some other species, such as Cribrinopsis Crassa, that look like BTA and stay small.

Bottom line? It's unlikely. But if you end up with more than 4 and they are still small, I'm buying them!

Yeah I have over 53 anemonies that have all split from one. (Not at once) but I have ones literally smaller than a bb, up to 10", from my experience they can split at any size, and they can literally be any size
