Did my new anenome eat my fish??

[jgalvin]

Against knowing better and everything i read here, i bought a small green bubble tip anenome for my 34G nano. I just picked it up sunday night, shoved him in a spot (where he's stayed), on monday he was all closed up and blown stuff leaving its mouth; he then quickly expanded (4-6 inches) with his bubbles out (looking happy). I KNOW i should not have put him in my tank, but..... newbie mistake (i really wanted a nem).

Since then my 6-line wrasse has been missing. We're in a bit of mourning with the death of poor "flash". I believe poor "flash" was eaten. I looked everywhere for him. Is it common for a BTA to capture the fish in your tank? Wouldn't a healthy wrasse be too quick?

turns out my wrasse reappeared so i unncessarily blamed my new nem.

Glad he came back! Poor nemone, you should give him a treat to make up for it.

Hopefully you have a lid on that tank...every sixline I have ever had has carpet surfed to death.

You nem was either expelling some zooxanthella or pooping out the last sixline wrasse it caught.

^ lol or just plain pooping. Start feeding it silversides. It shouldn't hurt your fish if well fed.
