I was sitting there eatting my dinner. I turned around and saw my anemone closed but something was moving in it. It took about 30 to 40 second or so it open back up and my powder blue tang is in the anemone.:eek: I look at it and I know the the fish was already dead. The powder blue was dead anyway so I took some picture of it. I have this anemone for over two years now and never had this happen before. I know the powder blue was not sick because he was doing find and I had him longer then the anemone. Anyway here are some pictures and have this ever happen to anyone here??

Stupid fish + anemones don't mix!
 
Well I would usually say fish eat fish but in this case it's anem eats fish.

In one of my tanks, my scats will eat any coral I try to put in and my niger trigger eats the legs off of my starfish. So my only solution is to start 2 more sw tanks ahhahahah
 
I saw this before only it was a blonde naso tang I guess what happened was the fish was fine but somehow got to close to the anemone and was dinner. This is a rare occurrence and definitely is a sight to see but suck's for you.
