BTA Ate My Clown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[allyric]

I woke up this morning and my Maroon clown gold stripe was gone... I didn't have a clue were he went, and my tank is fully enclosed. We'll tonight went the luner lights came on and me and my wife was watching a movie the Green bubble tip anemone spit him out as he relaxed. Why did this happen and has anyone heard of his before.
I wanted to get a mate for him but now it look's like I may need two.
But the question is will it happen again?????
The anemone is huge at around 8 inches across and the clown was about 2.5 inches long.
Please help me I don't want this to happen again.

it may or may not happen. just like you can have a BTA or carpet annen and your clowns will not pay attention to it or live in it, a clown hosting annenome will sometimes even eat the clown! you could try it again and it may work, or you could try a differrent annem. SFYL

That is odd, I have heard of BTA's eating fish, but never their clown, I have also seen clowns hang around inside teh mouth of the anemone, maybe the clown fell asleep, and it was in the mouth, and teh anemone closed up...
