Rock Flower Anemone Question

[Ramberto777]

So ever since I started getting into saltwater fish, only about 3 months now, I've been really intrigued by flower nems. Now from the research I've done, I believe I can care for them just fine and I understand that they will not host clowns. My question is about them potentially consuming them or other fish. I really care for my fish and would be really upset if it were to take down a fish. Would this be a real possibility or would it have the same chances roughly of an lps eating a fish? Thank You for looking!

any coral with a large enough mouth given the chance will eat fish. We use to feed dead fish to scolys, meat corals,... at some of the shops i worked in

Gotcha. Did they ever take down a live one?

How big was the nem?

Probably 3-4 inches round. I’m assuming the tang had something wrong with it but it was swimming around fine hours before I found it in the nem

Highly unlikely they would eat a fish unless the fish already was on its way out. Good to go.
