Well this sucks!

What should I do? BTA munching on my Achilles. Do I attempt to remove the fish or leave it?

Assuming you can, yeah - you'll probably want to remove it. Maybe some chopsticks and a set of tongs? I can relate - my naso nosedived into an elegance. Tangs...

don't force out, nem will eventually try to expel , but yes if gentle pull will get it ,take out
tugging can damage mouth.
keep eye on next couple hrs, should try to release.
keep us posted...

The chop sticks worked. Didn't have to use any force. Thanks everyone.

Any got an Achilles they want to sell

That’s a shame… I hope you find another achilles. The Achilles that the nem got hold of must have been weak already as an anemone won’t normally try to eat a healthy fish unless it’s extremely hungry and not been fed in months.

You Sir are 100% correct. The achilles was in fact not doing well. I noticed that he got beat up a week or so ago, not sure why. Then 2 days ago I noticed it just didn't look well. I was monitoring it and was going to try to pull it out and hospital it, but it was too late. I didn't expect it to perish so soon. Bummer.

That was an expensive snack But as mentioned, healthy Achilless woudn't have gotten into that sitch.

That's the type of stuff you see on national geographic! Sorry for the loss of the Achilles.
