Rock flower eating my box fish?

I woke up this morning and went to feed the fish. I was shocked to find my little yellow box fish tail first in the middle of my rock flower anemone !
At first I though Iron Mike (the box fish) was dead, but I realized I saw a fin moving so I got him out of there. His is swimming around...sort of. Mostly floating and sometimes sitting on the bottom. I just rescued him from a nassarius that was trying to climb on him while he was sitting on the bottom. He has some white areas on him that I assume are wounds caused by the RF. I had no idea that RFs ate live fish like that. I now have him in an isolation box in the display tank to see if he will recuperate. Any suggestions to help him heal?

Thanks

RFAs will eat anything they can catch. Glad you noticed and got him free.
