Clam eats Dispar Anthia (pic)
Yesterday, on adding 3 females and one male Dispar Anthia, one of the females decided to swim straight into my clam. The pic is the result.

Neither did I. I doubt (and hope) I will see that ever happen again.

The wallet wasn't hurt too much. Dispars cost 6 USD here in Thailand.

I lost an o. clown to a crocea once.

Once they clamp down, that's it, the struggling fish only makes them clamp harder.

That, as I recall, was exactly how it happened.

Sorry for your loss. There was a thread a while back showing this also. I think I remember a Yellow Tang, Hippo Tang, and a Koran Angel all getting there faces locked into the clam shell.
