MY GREEN BUBBLE TIP ATE MY CLOWN

It's possible that your clownfish actually died before your anemone ate him. Clowns have a protective mucus around them that makes them immune to the anemone's stings. This means that even if the anemone managed to catch the clown for some off reason, if the clown was healthy, it would easily be able to escape the anemone because of its immunity. The stings aren't affecting him while he's trying to escape so he's not getting weaker as he moves away. The clown must've been dead or sick for the anemone to eat him.

were they the same species of clown? i have a maroon and a percula and i had to seperate them cause they wanted to kill each other. maybe they killed each other, and the anemone just cleaned up the mess and took the rap? :?
