Rock Flower Anemones

Do these rock flower nems stay small? I have one that is not super colorful but it is like 6" across and may eat fish. Wonder if they are similar or just go by the same common name.
I have about 35-40 in my tank, and have had them for years. I don't spot feed them and never have. They stay about 3-4" max (most smaller) and I've never lost a fish to one.
 
I have heard that mini max anemones can get fish...but unless it is really on its last fin, rock flowers wouldn't take down any fish
 
Another batch of babies were just released from their mother....excited to see what color mixes occur this time!

that last one is pretty sweet!

My rock flower recently died b/c it tried to eat the head of a torch that polyp bailed. Crazy. I would definitely love to buy one.
Where are you located?
