[rgoldenc]

We are in the process of moving our fish to a hospital tank. My coral beauty died and we had to get him out. So we had to move the rock my Anemonie lives on . When we turned the rock around he had a big yucky looking stomach, I mean this sucker was spread open. Needless to say it is our coral beauty, he is in the process of eating my beauty, what do i do can i take it out, this is so gross. that's to much fish for my anemonie, is he going to die,from a belly ache????my husband said "Does this mean he'll blow ich farts?" HA HA HA HELP <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" /> <img src="graemlins//uhuh.gif" border="0" alt="[U-Huh]" />

Im not an anenome expert, but if they eat fish in the wild, it is probably ok in the tank, bc in the wild other anenome's would've eaten it.
your anenome did not actually split open did it? if it did i would say watch it carefully, and make sure if it cannot repair itself to take it out when you know FOR SURE it is going to die.
if it is not actually split open, which i hope it isn't, i would say just leave it alone. make sure it is getting lots of water circulation, because it will probably be excreting more than normal since it was a big fish for it.

Well we just watched it to see what was going to happen and to see if it was going to eat it. After a while he ejected some of it tail first, and a while later he ejected some more, almost all of it , so we got the pinchers in there and grabbed hold of the fish tail and wiggled a little bit,but not pull it from him he let it go. It was gross he was actually sucking the insides out of the fish through the fishes mouth. Don't have pictures, but got it on Video Recorder. Now come to think about it, it was pretty cool. Anemone is doing great. I just want to know how he got the fish, MY husband thinks that the clown fish took it to him.......

Well, if the fish swam in his vicinity or floated, then the anemone could have latched on to him. You should have let him eat it.
