A real "who dunnit." Who ate the Anemone?

[Twistofer]

This morning I woke up and did my usual routine of inspecting my 120 gal tank. My newly purchased Green Pizza Anemone was happy in the reef rubble minding its own business. I went to work as always. Upon returning home from work this evening, some soft protein and mucus pieces were strewn around the area where the anemone used to reside, and :uhoh2: a missing anemone. I have searched in vain; however no anemone. Water chemistry remains unchanged from yesterday. The question is WHO DUNNIT?

Suspects:
1 Ms. Lemon Peel Angel(a)
2 Mr. Eel(i) Snowflake
3. Mr. (W)hu Mu Trigger
4. Mr. & Mrs. Geni Canthus (The Swallow Tail Angel Pair)

Seriously, has anyone had experience with any of these fish eating an anemone? I have a Haddon's from which the Trigger tried to take some food and ended up getting badly stung. I know triggers will go after some inverts and corals. My eel is suspected of eating a much smaller fish a while back, but I wouldn't expect him to go after an anemone.

Any Thoughts

angels have been know to have an appetite for soft corals, my guess would be one of the angels started a feeding frenzy once the poor thing was in small enough pieces the rest of the crew took over

Then, the culprit would be narrowed to the Lemon Peel, because the Genicanthus sp. are the exception. The Black Spot or Swallow Tail Angelfish are considered reef-safe being mostly planktivores and herbivores.


I've got the Haddon's, which the Lemon peel occasionally will try to pick on, but doesn't much like the sting. The Haddon is potent enough to keep it at bay.

Do those anemones sometime retract down under the surface of the sand,just a thought.

none of the fishes ate the nem, this thing is extremely sticky and it will trap any fishes that come in contact with it. i suspect it went under the sand or went for a hike and is hidden from view somewhere....

i have a close 3.5" lemompeel that has been in my mix reef for 10 years, no issues whatsoever.
