Had an elephant ear-type, very large mushroom coral close up over my eating-frzn mysis mandarin goby about 8 years ago. One minute the goby was sitting on the coral, then next the coral was closed over the "stupid" fish, (I thought it was smart enough to swim away), and a few minutes later, when I looked again, the coral was slowly opening up with the goby dead in the middle. Mandarin gobies are poisonous I believe, so the coral didn't "eat" and digest it, but it certainly killed it.
