The book I read that mentioned bulb anemones liking krill over fish also mentioned that the only things egested are parts that are unusable, like chitin. I wouldn’t even be worried if I hadn’t seen the anemone egesting. Is it possible that it could have been something else, or would it have to have been a food item? I know I’m stretching here, but I just can’t believe it. I just thought the fish would know to avoid the anemone, but I fear the worst. Man, I feel stupid…
