rock flower anenome eating fish

Hi. First time I am posting here. This is the second time this has happened so just wanting to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience? I seem to have a very ‘aggressive’ RFA that has developed a taste for fish. First it was my leopard wrasse and now a green chromis. Both fish were healthy and this seems to happen at night.

Been there before. Must say they do love to eat the fish.

That's a pretty RFA.

Thanks. I like(d) it too. I have 7 RFA’s but all the others seem to have more conventional apetites.... I keep looking at my crew and wonder who is next ��

Any fish that accidentally crosses its path may be. Typically if a fish is healthy I was under the impression they could survive the encounter..not so sure though

I have a Rock Flower and Condy on the same rock and the fish swim all around them. I've seen my cleaner shrimp break free from the Condy's tentacles when going for the food, but no incidents with the fish.

The Firefish's home is in the same rock. The Condy has since moved from where you see it now to the rocks higher up.
