anyone with horror stories of carpet anemones

[duke62]

i have been wanting a carpet anemone since i started this hobby and i finally got an opportunity to purchase one.has anyone had real horror stories of this creature.im a little worried of my fish but more worried for my cleaner shrimp and pistol.i feed it a silverside and they were trying to get it and sticking to its tentacles while the fish stayed away.also the serpent star was trying as well and sticking.i moved all corals away from where i placed it in the setup and i will watch it while it finds a spot and move all corals while it travels..thanks for feedback.

My carpet has eaten a 5" blue throat trigger(it got scared when lights went off, and swam around tank until it ran into carpet), and when I was away my lineatus wrase diappeared(I assume the carpet ate him). All crabs/inverts have been fine despite trying to get food, the seem to walk all over it)

When i had one it ate my gold rim tang and my yellow belly blue hippo. It would take strolls from the front to the back of my tank and was a pain to remove it.
