Flower Anemone

[mcvicker]

Hello,
I have some questions about Flower Anemone. Is it possible that this anemone would eat a clownfish? How about a serpent star? I am missing a fish that was well established healthy, eating regularly, and so forth.

Well, I can tell you this...My friend had some clowns in a tank with an anemone as well as an eel. The eel took a bite out of one of his clowns and the clown just happened to fall on the anemone and walla!!!! The anemone ate him! That was the sadest thing I've ever seen in a tank to this day...So, I guess anything is possible.

I've heard of other anemones eating fishes but i'm just not sure if this one is the one .

you know something similar happened to me .
A baby clownfish who was i think sick (about to die) it went by my LTA and the anemone ate him ... the whole fish... no break the fin here and there.... nope just swallow the whole thing.

if you are talking about a rock flower anemone the ones with tentacles only around the outside then that is definately a possibility as these anemones do not host clowns and have a very strong sting. I wouldnt think it would eat a startfish though..

Waratah anemone

I have a waratah and it has eaten 3 diferent fish from my tank including a beautiful african leopard wrasse. On another note, the same anemone just had an episode last night. I belive it is a reproduction behavior, but the anemone just started spewing this white stringy stuff from its mouth. I had fed it the day before and it did this just after a water change. I have seen it do this before when there was no water change. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks, Bryan
