So I made the mistake of moving some rocks around (to try to potentially find a missing fish), and that influenced my rainbow nem to move from his comfortable corner in the rock. I was away at work and could see it on the move, but then when I got home the nem was nowhere to be found.

I had just fed the ghost eel that I just got (16 inches long), but also suspect is my large brittle star (10" across") since it's abdomen was more than double the size of normal.

What gives?? Anywhere hear of either of these guys attacking anemones? It was a few inches big so it wasn't tiny by any means.

More likely it's probably moved where you might not see it would be my guess.

I doubt they ate it. Before i finally got rid of mine, it would move and hide for days at times. Especially if i disturbed it.
