Hungry Anenome???

[kattired34]

Hello,
I am somewhat new to saltwater but have been doing fresh for years.
One question, did my anonome eat my arrow crab? I have a Pink Tip Haitian Anemone. My arrow crab was doing great and one morning all I found of him was pieces, just under the rock of the anenome.
If not what could have eaten him. I only have small fish, some hermits, a coral banded shrimp (who has gotten rather large) and some snails.
I have checked my water quality and it is fine. Everything else is ok, what could have happend to him? He did not shed, checked that first. :help:

Are you sure it wasn't a molt? He will be in hiding for a few days after a molt. If not a molt it could have been the CBS, they can be aggressive.

Not unless he molds part of his body as well as his shell. I checked all the rockwork and cannot find him. CBS was my second thought, but since his parts were under the anenome's rock thought about him first.
Guess I just have to do something about my CBS. Do you know if he will attack my other inhabitants?
Thanks.

My CBS has been known to prey on a few unsuspecting tank mates....
