Something is eating my rock flower!! Current stock: flasher wrasse, Chromis, watchman goby. I don’t know what it is. It’s little white worms and it looks like someone went through and poked thousands of holes into the back of my rock flower anemone with a pin. Please help! Local LFS said it was “flukes”. I’m newer to the hobby in the sense that I’ve never had any pests to this degree. Any help would be appreciated.

By flukes they probably meant flatworms.

I am not sure I see anything in the first pic and second pic is very blue.

If you look on the underside of the anemone you can see dozens of little holes. I appologzie for the terrible pictures. In the second on you can zoom in and see little holes on the skin. Not on the colorful face if that makes sense. Like on the backside. You can also see tons of little worms in the holes in the rock flower anemone.
 
I forgot what’s it’s called but anemones can have dots on the base like my LTA, if it’s really holes , I would be looking for bad hitchhiker like fire worms, rouge starfish/peppermint shrimp , what are your parameters ?

Just fed recently. So testing water would be pointless. I can check if you think it’s super necessary. But last time I checked (a few days ago, and nothing was added or done between those few days besides feeding) they were all good. Here are the ones I tested.
Nitrate: 0
Calcium: 470
Phosphate: .10
DKH: 10 (been constant for years)
 
What's this ?
On glass or on your rfa?
Is it your polyclad flatworm? Or part of your rfa?
Just thought draw attention to incase
