Just looking to confirm that this is a rock flower anemone and get some people's opinions on them in the tank. Ive had some bad luck with bubble tips and a condys moving around too much. This one opens up a lot (about 3 inches in diameter) and is in the rock with the feather duster on it. I am just trying to figure out if I want to keep it. How big do they get? And are they known for being aggressive eaters? I dont want my mandarin to come up missing or any other critters for that matter. Thanks guys and gals

Looks like a mini max carpet anemome they get around I think 6 inchs and they dont move around too much. They dont host clowns but they do host sexy shrimps and anemome crabs.
 
Yup, a nice mini maxi. These are more likely to move around from time to time, as compared to rock flower nems. If you get a bunch of them, they tend to wind up hanging out together even if they don't start out that way. They won't eat your mandarin, and they're unlikely to sting other anemones or corals.
