One of my small nassarius snail was dead as he was picked on by my wrasse and then my wrasse released it and fell into my BTA anemone. The anemone right away swallowed it.
Will my BTA be okay? Will it spit out the shell?
 
It should be fine. Anemones can eat a wide variety of foods. The snail shell might not get digested and will likely be excreted. Best thing to do in cases like this is to let nature take its course and not interfere as it will likely be more damaging to the anemone.

There really is no option to this! I think it will be fine.
 
I hope he is still fine. Sometime dead animal I. Our tank are full of bacterial, depends on how long they have bees dead in the tank.
mid they spoiled in the tank then the anemone eat it, it can release a large number of bacterial into the inside of the anemone which may not end well for the anemone.
