This is just bizarre!!

Earlier today i got a fund of 156.8 BTC to my coinbase wallet. However, 2 hours later got an email from wallet@blockchain.info (i listed my coinbase btc address as a Watch-Only address in my blockchain wallet), saying that ive withdrawn my 156.8  btc out of the wallet.

However, when i logged in to my CoinBase account, my balance is still 156.8 BTC.
anyone have any idea whats going on here?? this really freaks me out to be honest.

here's the blockchain address info: https://blockchain.info/address/18RATTTptdbmR4TgfK3HR9pswHgbmjp2hg
here's my coinbase accnt: http://postimg.org/image/kz57zlkg7/

You should be ashamed of yourself, fudding this poor confused guy.

The likely explanation is this:

Your address at coinbase pays into a shared wallet controlled by coinbase. While all funds sent to you are assigned to your account, the actual coins can be used to pay for other people's transactions.  You'd see the same sort of thing with a deposit into mtgox.

When you withdraw funds they'll pay you back with some other coins entirely.

This. It's normal, don't worry.
(You shouldn't use exchanges as long time storage for big Btc amounts though.)
