[tgp4274]

so sat i went out with the wife n kids n bought a powder blue tang for my tank. Sunday the fish looked awsome n eating very well. today i came home from work to find it dead in my long tentical nem.. now my nem is aboout 6in across and the blue had to be atleast 4-5in in lenth. theres no way my nem coulda ate the fish but it was holding it n trying... could my nem really killed my fish???? n like i said the fish looked very very good sun and this morn when i left for work.. any ideas???

Anemone shouldn't be able to kill a healthy tang

Maybe it drifted in its sleep and got caught in the nem.

Yeah sorry man that sucks. I get bent too when I have a fish die…which hasn't been in a long time "knock on wood".

A healthy PBT could easily escape a long tentacle anemone. It sounds like your specimen had something going on and wasn't just accidentally stung by the anemone.
