What on earth happened to it?

When my father-in-law first got into the hobby he put an anemone in his tank. That evening he watched some sort of anenome eating worm make a b-line for the anemone and start boring into it, it was like 2 feet long. It ended up injuring it quite badly and nuked his tank, He said the worm moved really quite fast, and broke apart when he tried catching it. I believe it was a type of polychaete, a fire worm. By the sound of how your anemone looked, it sounds like how fireworms consume its prey

Well that gave me the shivers... I never want to put my hand into my tank ever again

Thanks so much for this info and I will be doing some research now that I have something to go by. I really appreciate your help.

THANK YOU!!!
