I'm pretty sure my sebae ate my ocelaris clown, is this rare or what?

Possible...The sebae is not a natural host to the ocelaris. I'd think the clown was already in poor shape to begin with if the nem did, in fact, eat it.

The clown seemed healthy, he ate good the day before he got ate.

As has been answered in your other post about the same topic :wink: , the ocellaris is not a natural inhabitant to the sebae anemone. Therefore, it's not unthinkable that the clown didn't have the right type of defense for it and ended up like any other fish who stumbled into it...lunch.

Did you see it eat it? Or has it just come up missing. Clean up crews can take care of a dead fish overnight and Ocellaris are known jumpers.

Hmmm maybe, I looked on the floor, but all I have is a fox face, and some chromis.

Foxface, clownfish, "some" chromis, in a 10 gallon tank? I wouldn't add anything else until you decide on a bigger tank.
