anemone killed my cardinal?

[Bonsai Boi]

My female bangaii died the other week rather suddenly. I couldn't think of any other reason other than she got to close to my anemone (tends to sleep by it) and got stung. Do you think this is a possibility?

what type of nem?

 

[Fishy_Clown]

Pretty unlikely actually - Bangai Cardinals are nocturnal and thats usually when fish get nabbed. If its was a health adult, it should not have succumbed to the nem. Nems usually get the odd meal of a) bottom dweller that got lost - usually a dragonet or b) small fish or c) sick fish in a bad way. I would be surprised if the nem is responsible for killing a healthy adult bangai. How big is your tank and again, what nem do you have?
Cheers

Carpet Anemone's are known to eat fish....

In the wild Bangai Cardinals often host in anemone's. Not to say that a carpet nem wouldnt make a snack of one though.
