Ok I woke up this morning and one of my purple tipped anenomies was missing. I just figured he moved over night and I could not see him. No big deal.
When I just got home, I saw a piece of meat on the tank bed. It appeared to be crab meat. I picked it up and it had the same texture as crab meat. The same appearance as the bottom of the missing anenomy. Now, the only thing I can think of is that he got eaten.
My question is what could have eaten the WHOLE thing between 10pm and 5am? He was quite large....about as big as a tennis ball when not closed up. Easily 10 times larger than any of the damsels in my tank. 15 times larger than the one diamond gobby I have.
I don't think the snales could have eaten him.
I just got 2 clown fish on Saturday and neither of them have eaten anything at all since they have been in the tank. One of them died last night. The other seems fine. Could he have killed it out of stress?????
All 3 of my power heads have sponge filters on them so there is nothing mechanical that could have sucked it up.
I have no cats in the house and my greenwing macaw stays in the cage when we go to bed, so pets are out of the question. I just can not figure out what could have possibly happened.
Are any of my fish known to eat anenomies?
To give you an idea, both were about the same size. Here is the other.
All we could find left of it was a piece about half the size of an eraser tip.
Pardon the spelling..... dyslexia rules my life.
