Too bad about the fish.

Bandit, important to guard your intakes even with a CL.

My guess is that your ammonia/nitrite test kits weren't showing you what was there. When the anemone died, it could have produced a good spike in those parameters.

Would fish actually be MORE sensitive to ammonia than corals? I'm thinking...yes.

I have heard that if water quality is the issue, the first thing to go is the inverts. Is this not true?

When an anemone, sea hare or something else gets sucked in, is it the ammonia or nitrites that cause the crash? Sort of thought it would have been some other toxin (and therefore not something we would normally be testing for).
