TOO cheap anemone? (pic)

Is it just me or does this seem TOO cheap?

I bought my condy for $9.

It does seem to be a bit cheap, but they grow so big, and propegate so readily, I don't see why they wouldn't be that cheap.

that is cheap, here theyre about $20.

how big are they at the store? and if theyre mass propagated theyre cheap. some guy here is selling me a green bubble tip anemone for $15 and theyre way more expensive in stores.

It is Petco. They were about 3-4" across.

sounds like they get them from propagating sellers then, since the full size of a condy is 12"

That depends on the species. Condylactus gigantea has been known to grow even much larger than that.

the common size for gigantea is 12" though, i just read the writing in his pic and it says adults are 12" for gigantea, thats what ive always known

You also have to remember: That is from petsmart/co. They are both notorious for lowballing figures.
