I have a monster bubbletip and its been shrunken since earlier this morning, and coincidently enough, my perc is misssing too.

Could he possibly eaten his fishy companion>

clownfish are immune to cnidocyte stings. so healthy clowns should not be eaten. however, a sick/dead/dying fish of anyu kind is just another meal.

Well he must have been sick or something, cause the anemone just burped up a big chunk of something, and i havent fed it today.
Not to mention the clown never hides.

I feel ripped off, i took the anemone out for a nice seafood dinner, and she never called me back.

(pictures soon as i find my camera)

My Maroon frequently dives INTO the gut of my carpet anemone...turns around inside, then pokes her head out just enough to breathe.

I wish mine was doing that. If he is, he can hold his breath for a long time....like 24 hours.
