anemone eating fish?

[jon1985]

I have added 2 fish to my tank recently. Since they have been added 2 of my 8 BTAs have vanished. The fish include 3" male blue throat, and a 3.5" metalic rabbit fish. Both fish are eating and appear healthy.

The missing BTAs are 4-6" fully open. Any chance one of these fish is the culprit? All the rest of my anemones seems happy and are eating.

Any thoughts?

I would look behind rocks in darker places. I have had BTA's move into the darn before.

the first one went missing a little over a week ago and I took out most of my rock looking for it, the second went missing this weekend while I was away.

Hmmmm.Ive personally never heard of a fish eating a nem, but im sure others who are more experienced might have more information.

Yea, I would look behind/under rockwork, too. What are your water parameters & how long have these two nems been in the tank? Did you recently adjust powerheads, flow or get different lights?
