that's terrible - i'm just wondering, did the aptasia actually kill the fish, or was the fish already dead and the aptasia was feeding on it as it floated by?? Did you have any problems with an aptasia outbreak because i started off with 1 and they started to spread quite rapidly and I tried different methods of getting rid of them. Either way, i didn't realize that an aptasia could kill a fish - quite interesting.....

I think most anemones will eat a fish it it wanders by...they are oportunistic feeders. I'm not sure on all of them, but most are.
