Well...The ex wife and I used to have this HUGE Saltwater aquarium. We had all manner of invertebrates and the whole 9 yards.
My ex used to love sea anemonies and so I got her two of them. I was quite new to the whole experience and thought that I had to leave the light on the tank all of the time. The poor anemonies started to do ANYTHING to get out of this beaming 160 watt sunlight bulb. They first tried burying themselves deep within the coral rocks.
No go.
Then they tried actually escaping the tank.
Nope.
Then one day after much cluelessness on my part I came home to find them both dead from the blades of the water filter. They had BOTH crawled up the tube and been summarily chopped to death. Bits of bloody anemonies swirling around the tank.
The cleaner shrimp just stared at me with unforgiving eyes, as they ate their dead compatriates remains.
