I got home from work today and went into the BIG fish room to look at my tanks... I couldn't find my Bubble tip anenome... Hmm, I ended up pulling out all the live rock... Nada, Nutn, no anenome.
I was perplexed. I did a test on the water this morning and it was perfect. The other bubble tip was fine the other was GONE! The water was little cloudy so I tested it again. Fine. Hmm, That's when I noticed a little meat on the filter tube strainer... Ah ha! He was minced in the filter. But, this was a 4" dia bubble tip that I was feeding shrimp last night. He would of had to of moved to the other end of the tank. He was perfectly happy on the live rock for the past 4 or so weeks. I have only one fish with it. A coral beauty. Would he do that?

I had the same thing happen to me last week...I bought a replacement anemone and I am constantly worried it will get sucked into a powerhead again...
I dont know what precautions can really help to be honest...good luck
