<p>I had recently played a game with someone I hadn't played before, and they threw down a dark depths/thespian's stage combo. I in turn enchanted it to be an indestructible 0/1 that couldn't be the target of spells or abilities. He said that the enchantment though can be still targeted by &quot;Destroy target enchantment&quot; abilities which didn't make sense with how I have understood the game. Who's right in this situation? Can the enchantment be targeted or is it untargetable because it's on an untargetable creature?</p>

If an enchanted creature is untargetable, is the enchantment on the creature directly targetable?

I in turn enchanted it to be an indestructible 0/1 that couldn't be the target of spells or abilities. He said that the enchantment though can be still targeted by "Destroy target enchantment" abilities which didn't make sense with how I have understood the game. Who's right in this situation? Can the enchantment be targeted or is it untargetable because it's on an untargetable creature?

The enchantment can be targeted. The enchantment is a completely separate object from the creature that it’s enchanting. Enchantments can have shroud; and then they would be untargetable. See [Greater Auramancy](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Greater%20Auramancy).
