I haven't bought anemones other than local - I see online that they sell x or y anemone for $40 for a 1-2" specimen for example. Is that the size of the foot or the inflated anemone? They never seem to specify.

Thanks!
 
At 1" I'm hoping that's the foot, but to be honest I don't think I'd ever buy a nem that small, even a BTA. I would expect to see something in the description like "5"-6" when fully expanded" which would mean the diameter of the oral disk. Best for the vendor to provide WYSIWYG photos with a ruler in it.
