turned the tank lights on this morning and sure enough, halfway digested in the carpet anemone was my pencil urchin....sigh

Husband is saying we need to do something with the "vicious killer"....*heavy sigh*
 
Doh! Sorry about the urchin :(
More and more I hear about carpet anemones doing something bad, makes me want to rethink getting one.
 
Well they will eat what ever comes along their path right?

I suppose the urchin fell pray to the anenome's sting.
 
well, there is an update to this story...

Last night we went to town, came back pretty late. As I was feeding fish, I saw the urchin, out and about, not seemed any worse for the experience. I guess the anemone decided he didnt like the flavor of a pencil urchin :)
 
haha.. that is cool.. i hope my anemone doesn't decide to eat any of my fishes.. my cowfish likes to get close to it.. and it is really sticky.. if i touch it was something it's hard to let go..
