Has anyone ever had this happen? I recently (a month ago added a pink tip anemone to my tank. shortly thereafter, i noticed that one of my mushroom colonies were not doing so good. middle of last week, i was walking by the tank and watched the anemone reach out, rip a small shroom off the rock, and eat it! I have done some searching and ahve not found ANYTHING like this at all.
I since did manage to get the anemone out, and it is now in my refugium-to-be in the basement.
has anyone heard of this before? I would not have believed it if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

I would like an answer to this too. This is my story. I have a 6 gallon nano reef and got a really small Pink tip anemone today, I put it in and all was fine it crawled right up and planted itself nicely on my rock. I went to work today came home 12 hours later only to discover one of my Ricordea yuma mushrooms is missing! Now keep in mind I own a 6 gallon Fluval edge, I just spent an hour looking for a mushroom! Can an anemone do this? I do not know what else could have happened to my mushroom. This is how an $8.50 Pink Tip ends up costing you $70 and some change in the end, Ahh my luck. Miniblaz3
