Bubble Anemone eats slow moving fish?

[ocellaris06]

Just read "Clownfish & Anemones FQA" which mentions that Bubble Anemone may eat slow moving fish like Blenny and Goby.
Moreover, it also mentions that Bistle Worm may hurt Bubble Anemone. Did you guys actually saw this happen before.

I have a bubble anemone that has lived with two different gobies, and a mandarin which is about as slow as it gets. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If the anemone was really large then maybe.....but mine is the size of a dinner plate and I haven't had any problems so far. To answer your question I've never seen it happen.

FYI, all anemones can eat slow moving fish. This is another reason why target feeding your anemone is recommended. Keeps em full and not needing to feed alternatively. They'll get the rest of their nutrients from the lighting. I've only lost a couple fish to my last anemone, but just for further reference, some corals can and will do this as well, just added a green bubble coral to a friends tank, within 5 minutes it was devoiring his coral banded shrimp, which the coral had never eaten anything it shouldn't while in my tank....guess he got hungry and the shrimp looked tasty.
