wha good idea man.....fish orbituary somemore..... :lol: very senior fish pass away today....so where is the wake held? Must bring small wreath with condolence sign or not?

your anemone is a monster now eating live prey..... :o

ya boy .. maybe can have a "Fish Obituary" forum here where reefer visit their belated fishes, corals, etc occasionally.. (wonder will SRC consider it or not) :D

too sad to held a wake :pinch:

now the biggest question is ... what / how to deal with the monster anemone.. keeping it will end up killing more fishes in the tank in future ... and by then those fishes maybe a very costly meal !.. Hmmm...

<_<

I think the tassel filefish dun have good co-ordination when comes to swimming movements maybe thats why kenna caught in the anemone's grip liao....faster fishes shouldn't have a problem...... :D

true... (agreed)

Alright .. next time when i buy fish ... they must pass my fish test.. example

(1) must be able to swim fast (1 meter/sec)

(2) hard swimmer (can fight off any grip if necessary)

(3) smart ... (just don't stand infront of something that will eat them alive!)

:lol::lol:

so what's my options ?

1) gobies abit gundo one :upsidedown:

2) angelfish too kepo....like to inspect and not fast enough kenna caught..... :P

3) filefishes out of the question....recent mishap learned lesson already. Strong

wave come gone...straight into mouth of anemone...... :(

4) damsels fast enough but sometimes keena fool by clownfish (if you have any)

to come in and give their anemone chance to catch..... :lol:

5) Tangs fast enough but sometimes never see corner when turning and then run

into Traffic Police....liao...gone <_<

6) Butterfly.....cannot....see the anemone as jelly beans cannot resist....must taste

then anemone stress curl up and won't open again...... :(

anymore other species miss out or not?...... :blink::lol:

they persumed to have the special coating like the clowns but actually dart in and out to make it look like they live in there.

The other hand the clowns live day in and day out their lives....when it comes to night the damsels run for cover under rocky caves.....and kenna pick out by the lionfish..... :lol:
