So I just got home from school, and I couldn’t find one of the damsels in my tank. And it looked like there were remains right beside it. It’s an LTA, even though it has fairly short tentacles. Did it eat the damsel? Also it’s 14 gallons, and I HAD 4 fish, which I know isn’t a good idea (I’m upgrading to a 55 gallon soon).
 
it's more likely that the damsel was killed by another damsel. it is possible that the anemone consumed it. Good call upgrading to a bigger tank, even with 3 damsels you are overstocked.
 
Only had two damsels, sorry for not being more specific. But actually now that you bring it up, the less aggressive one is the one I found dead so you’re probably right

even in my 70 gallon display, my 3 damsels occasionally fight, so that's likely your issue.
 
I’ll just keep the one when I do upgrade then
