Bro, how big is your firefish? BTAs are not predatory in nature, and the sting is not strong enough to kill. The fish was probably sick and weak in the first place that's how it ended up in the anemone's mouth. Carpet anemones and those $5 white/beige blue tip anemones though, they will prey on your fish.

My 1.5ft nano cube

My 24G nano tank (Decommed)

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

nice ... are gobies prone to ending getting caught up in anemones ?

Yup, even if it is an aggressive anemone, a healthy fish should be able to dart out quickly. My firefish is always brushing past the rbta tentacles with no problems.

RBTAs are pretty useless in prey capture ability.aiptasia probably has a stronger sting towards fishes than BTA. but that being said, depends on the strength of the fishes also..

yup that's what i understand bro. it's only about 1.5 inches. BTA fully expanded is already about 4 inches. what happened (i think) was the BTA extended from the rock it was anchored on to the side which is the cave where my fire sleeps. before that fish looks normal and eating well. i just thought of that because after that happened, the BTA extended again into that area. not sure ...

does it sting bro ? just asked, coz one feeding time, the pellet was sinking near the BTA and the firefish went at it. it missed biting the pellet and instead bit the BTA tentacle (yup saw it with my own eyes), after that looked like the fish got shocked, then it sped off back to it's cave, and stayed there for 2 days not coming out as he used to. though he recovered from that in guess, that was about a month ago.
