LTA fish eater?

[jon1985]

Ok so I have had a pink and blue spot goby in my 80 gallon tank for a little over a month and he was doing fine. He would eat when I fed and sift sand the rest of the time. He was about 3 1/2" long

I added an LTA about a week ago, 6" across max, and everything was fine. When the lights came on yesterday the goby was no where to be seen. I have the tank covered but checked the floor anyways.

Do LTAs tend to eat fish?

My purple LTA ate the pink skunk it was hosting. So, I wouldn't put it past them. I don't blame my anemone though. Silly pink skunk shouldn't have used the anemones mouth for a hiding place. With every anemone you run the risk of losing fish.

Funny, I got a free clarki once cause it dove into LTA's mouth at purchase.
I rushed home thinking maybe it would be cool, and it actually came back out and survived.
Looked pretty ragged, but made it.
As for LTA's, IMO they are very sensitive, and not top of my list for fish eaters, but they all can, just usually not unless fish was sick or stupid.
