Is This Possible?

I have a bubble coral that seems to be eating a Flame Angel. Is this possible? I have pictures but I don't know how to post. I tried to pull the fish out with some small tongs but it wouldn't budge. The bubble is about 5'X3' across and very healthy. The flame angel was about 2-3' inches long. I've been watching this process off and on now for about an hour and only the tail section is visible now. I know that you're supposed to feed bubbles and I have tried but I never saw them actually eat anything. I would give them "Marine Cuisine" from a turkey baster but nothing obvious happened. Over the past months, I've lost several smaller fish, a couple of yellow clown gobies, and a Royal Gramma, but I never suspected the bubble. And when I say lost, I mean gone, no carcass, nothing floating, just gone. Could it really be eating this fish? And if so, can I protect my other fish? This is really weird.
 
LPS corals (especially those with big polyps and mounts can eat fish)... It doesn't happen to offten, but it does happen.
