Condy anemone eating zoas?

[Holy handgrenade]

Anyone see this before? I had 2 heads of brown zoa frags moving aroud the tank. Looked at my condy today after coming home from work and saw some black thing coming out of it... wait those are my zoas!! lol, what is going on here. It spit them out now but kinda curious to see if i need to look out for other corals.
Dang these things must be hungry lol!

Yep, I watched mine mow down a row of Xenias one time.

Never had to worry about the Xenias taking over the tank after that!

Interesting! I wonder if they can absorb the zooxanthellae from the zoa or if it is just digested as nutrients?

I mean it spit out the zoas. They look ticked (i would be too if a nem tried to eat me) but i think they will live. No tissue is melted from the looks of it

Oh yeah he put them in his mouth! And he didn't spit them out either. They were just gone for good. Now, if I could just get him trained to eat the GSP. On the flip side, I've never seen him eat any other corals.

To late, i gave him to a friend. He ended up moving around the tank too much and stinging a few corals. I got him knowing he might move around but didnt realize he would be traveling EVERYWHERE XD
