Fox face Died and Anemone is eating him! What should I do?

[Im Lon 2]

My fox face I had last night got stuck to one of my pumps This morning when I woke up he just seemed a little slow but thought he was going to make it through it. Well he didn't and when I got home my Anemone has him a little more than 1/4 the way in his mouth. What should I do? the fox face was 6 to7" long.

I think I would just leave it alone. When it gets full it will spit it out.

Ditto,
Sentimental meal but a fulfilling one.

A $ says the anemone downs it all.

Sorry I guess I'm sick or something, but I usually just see silversides sticking out of em.

I've seen mine eat a cleaner shrimp.

I've seen an algae blenny get eaten before as well.

That is sad... it is making wonder about putting a carpet anemone in the same tank as my foxface

Yes it was your old foxface .. I guess he liked getting to close to pumps.

The Anemone did not eat him all he spit it out after about 4 hours.

How about a black molly? That would be different. lol

Sorry about your Foxface Lonnie.

Lon that picture is amazing. Very sad but I think it shows how resiliant these animals are to take care of themselves.

Did it end up eating the whole thing?

Mine eats Mollies a lot, it seems to prefer catching them as opposed to having a silverside placed on it.

Do you raise your mollies or buy them from the LFS?
