Fish and Anemones

[marinelife]

My step-daughter has 2 clowns and a carpet anemone. She wants to add a Rusty Pygmy Angel, would she have to worry about the anemone eating the Angel?

Yes, its always a worry that a fish will get eaten by a carpet. That's what they do - eat fish.

Back in my more naive days, I remember bringing home a new fish. When I finally let it out of the bag, the dang thing zipped right into the carpet. I figured that must have been a fluke, but the next fish I bought did the same exact thing. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I thought that is how it was but I thought I would ask since I have not done much with anemones before.

Thanks

i have 2 condi anemones, the most aggressive of anemones, and they dont eat fish, your angel is a strong swimmer, and unless it takes a nap in the anemone, it will most likely be fine.
