Runaway Clown Goby? Or Pricey Snack

[ReefzJR]

I added a tan rock flower anemone to my sand bed/ rock base. My clown goby has shown some interest but usually swims away. Got home from work yesterday and the Goby was missing. Checked filtration... nothing. The Nem is the only predator. Here’s a pic a few days ago when both were still around

I’ve never had a rock flower nem eat a whole live fish, as far as I know. I had one eat a small clam (nickel sized, food for my puffer). And it was pretty painful watching it swallow that then spit the shell back out days later. I would think if he ate ur fish u will see him regurgitate up the un-digestible bits within the next few days. Does he look...full? Out of his usual shape/size? For reference I have prolly 8 flower nems in a 65g.

I didn’t expect it to eat any fish the little stuff I have read said most aquarium fish can escape the sting. It could be hiding well but it’s. Small 13g tanks not many places to hide. It’s Body is hidden in the sand so I can’t judge the quality of it. I also have 1 turbo snail 2 bumble bee snails and 5 blue hermits. Unless it jumped out....
