Tube anemone as killers/hunters of fish is an Urban Myth.

^^ Good read. Interesting that although they should be mainly filter feeders, many here seem to have experiences where they ate fish. I wonder if they are simply not getting what they need from these tanks and take the opportunity to eat a fish that happens to rest on them?

I only have about 5 minutes experience keeping a tube anenome because I tried one in with my puffers, so I don't know anything about them really except they look cool.

i feed my tube anenome every day brime &mysis..i dont understand the urban myth thing when i seen half of my lion fish in my tube anenome...

Either you have a very large tube anemone or a very small lion. My tube anemones reject anything bigger then half an inch

my lion fish was 3.5 inch and my tube anenome 1.5-2 inch wide

What color is the tube anemone. most of the reports i have heard about deal with the pink/orange ones.

I don't doubt that it was munching on your lionfish but a "smokin' gun" is not proof that it actually snagged it, then killed it and then started feasting on it.

Sorry for your loss. Lions are very pretty fish.

My Carpet ate my powder blue last night...witnessed it...No video tho...

green tube anenome

Do you have a pic? i have never seen a green tube anemone
