Everything I've ever read says that anemones simply cannot eat clownfish, but two nights ago I added a condy to my tank and today I awoke to one of my goldstripe maroon clowns missing. I have looked up and down front and back in my tank and she is absolutely nowhere. Unless she's under one of the base rocks in my tank, but in that case I would highly doubt she's alive. I took apart the top layers of my live rock, nothing. The condy I added is larger than she is but not anything insanely huge. I added it because my two clowns would constantly fight over the bubbletip anemone in my tank. Now, the larger of the two clowns which actually happened to be a female (bought her as an adult) is missing. I can't make sense of it!
She was more than 4 inches already, a very big clown to simply go missing.
Tank perimeters:
temp: 78
specific gravity: 1.026
pH: 8.0
nitrate: >5ppm
nitrite: 0ppm
ammonia: 0ppm
Everything in my tank seems to be doing fine so I don't know why she would've passed if that was the case
Other fish in the tank:
less than 2 inch long dwarf fuzzy lion
2 chromis
1 potters angel
1 carpenters fairy wrasse
one small 2 inch panther grouper (am selling him, he's way too small to eat the clown as the clown was more than 2x his size, got him from a friend but only to hold temporarily until I found him a better home since the tank is only 70 gal)
