Bristleworm eating anemone!

thought I'd share this story:
The other night I was watching my tank from across the room. As I was watching my Clarkii clownfish was poking into the LR quite oddly. As I stood up and was walking toward the tank I noticed the clown had pulled a HUGE bristleworm (~4" long) from the rock and had it in his mouth! the clown then swam to one of my RBTA's and spat it! The anemome accepted it no problem and has been fine for several days now. Never really thought about it before but I never would have thought that an anemone would eat a bristleworm, ya know.. bristles and all. Im now a believer.
Just when you think you've seen it all......

nope. they will eat dead and dieing tissue, but not a living animal. a hobbiest just blams the death of their prized anenome or coral or clam or wahtever on a bristle worm.
