thats pretty much a nems eating tactic. Any lively fish are going to be able to resist a sting or avoid the anemone all together. But if its exhausted and the current just kinda blows it into the nem, well thats an anemone at its best. Losing any fish let alone an expensive fish isnt fun. I lost a hawaiian red flame pipefish to a turf war recently. To me how much I pay doesnt justify whether i like it more than the others. I spent 8.99 on a blue/green chromis and to be totally honest, he was my favourite fish. He was my first marine fish ever. Sorry for your loss man, dont give up though, live and learn.

Sorry for your loss. I've lost expensive (to me) fish and its frustrating to say the least. Having said that though, this is one of the risks you take when keeping a predatory animal like a bta. I agree with others that the wrasse was probably already weak and nature was just taking its course in your tank. Can't blame the bta for going "bta" on your fish. If this happened to me, I'd at least let the bta eat the fish. This way the fish didnt die for nothing.
