Post Can Anemones eat Starfish and Horseshoe Crabs?

I recently put 3 bubble tip anemones in my 180 FOWLR tank. I had a horseshoe crab, a chocolate chip star, and a red ornate star (kinda looked like the chocolate chip one). Anyway, today I bought another horseshoe crab and now BOTH are missing. I also can't find my red ornate star, and he as almost as big as your hand. Where could these creatures have gone?

Do anemones eat these creatures? Only other things I have in the tank are Tangs, Damsels, and a Foxface.... WTF?

Thanks,
Nick

I find it hard to believe that an Entacmaea quadricolor did it. Anemones will someones eat things that we would rather they not eat but it most of those cases we're talking about fairly large anemones, especially carpets.

We did have a report from one of our members that his anemone ate his blue ringed octopus. That was a first!
