Bad day!

Ok, so I come home from work tonight, pet my dogs, talk to and feed the birds, then start on the fish. First, I go to my clown baby tank. ( I have 7 that are a month and a half old. ) So, I lean over the tank to feed them and 1 is floating in the top corner. I was so disappointed. They have been doing so well. I was down to these 7 on day 3 and hadn't lost any since from this batch.
So, I tell myself it was just one of those things. Test the water and all is good. Removed dead fish and did a water change.(just in case)
It's ok, I tell myself I'm ok. Then I turn to my reef tank. (to feed them) I notice my lta looks "funny". What the.....
He's eating my Kole Tang!!!
I've read several times, Flower, saying that all anemones will eventually become fish eaters, but never believed it. I still can't beleive it. I am so flipping mad!!

It took me months to get this fish. He came from another hobbyist tank, and was healthy and beautiful. Poor little Kahuna!

My newest one... the one I had been looking for about a year now... the yellow spot scorp. I just converted his little butt to frozen. He was trapped in a fold in the shipping bag. Never gilled properly after that.

Sorry, Cranberry. I know you were so happy to finally get that fish.

Yea, it stinks. Hope he's full for a day or so. Then I am going to move him and my clowns to a 30g I have been cycling for a frag tank. Don't know what else to do as I don't want him to eat any more fish!
Just when I had my heart set on putting an angler in that 30g. :(

I lost my lion today too!!
And it was the most terrible experience to have remove a fish that big and dispose of him. Not only was I sad but then I had to dispose of him too.
what an awful day!
