Sorry to hear that. There is always a possibility like that when you have an anemone. I never got one because I know my clown goby would be the first snack. Hopefully the other fish stear clear from here on out.

i knew it was possible w the small ones like my clowns n damsels but that fish was big oh well i think i know what UU is getting

I'm thinking the rabbit fish died and floated in the anemone

Carpets are notorious for devouring anything getting near them. I had one at one time and decided to get rid of him for this very reason. Sorry about the poor rabbitfish. RIP.
