[Delphinus]

I didn't put a post in my own thread, however, I did add a post recounting the experience to Gary Majchrzak's thread regarding his ritteri. He too had an incident over the summer (August IIRC), although in slightly different circumstances, had the same end result: a complete wipeout of all non-anemonefish fish in his tank. In his case his ritteri had wandered too close to the overflow and part of the pedal disk got sucked into it, causing an injury. But in Gary's case I believe he said he actually saw mesenterial filaments free floating in the tank, whereas in my case there was not really anything visible. With a lack of physical evidence, however, I am still convinced that it is the anemone. This is twice now in six months that this setup has been moved, and both times ended up with disastrous results. I know that any time a tank is moved, there is risk; but this goes beyond that.

The anemone had been moved twice before in the past but with no ill effects. However the first time that it was moved it was considerably smaller (5") and the second time, only clownfish were moved along with it.
