Do you think they have something to do with the fish disappearing? I have 15 at least and actually quite like them, even feed them once in a while. Not epic proportions though so i guess that could be annoying.

Haha your crazy man. From what iv read, these things produce like mushrooms and will sting and eat anything they can grab with their tentacles. I certainly think it has something to do with the missing fish as there is really nowhere else it could have gone. Its a sealed tank and there are no predators in it at all (That we know of anyways) Iv seen pics online of these things eating clownfish.

Maybe we have a different species?! They must be larger at least as there's no way mine could eat a fish, maybe 1/4" at the base and 1/2" tentacles when open fully at night
If only someone local had a "freakin laser beam" they could lend you

haha damn you read my mind! Now where to get one.

Search up pseudocorynactis. They are not anemones but are more closely related to mushroom corals.

I have read that some are not vigorous eaters but some are. Some are harmless and some have reported missing fish because of these. I have one and I have never lost a fish but it is in a spot where fish doesn't swim there often.

Hope that helps...

Also if I may, from the pictures, it looks like yours are quite small so I don't think they are your culprit for your fish loss... but then again.. what do I know

Thanks I appreciate that. At least I know what I'm looking for. That particular one looks a lot nicer than what were dealing with. The ones we have are a lot more pest like. But thanks again!

Since the tank is new and would be easy to remove corals and zoas im wondering if there is a fish or invert or something that would eliminate these things efficiently??
