Swimming (really) Anemone question.

[Breadman03]

Thanks to ebius' thread, I saw this YouTube video where the anemone obviously uproots itself and swims away.

My first impression is that the starfish is, or was perceived to be, a predator, and that the anemone was escaping.

What do the experts say?

Lol looks like the anemone was trying to sting the starfish to no avail then went 'screw it!' and swam away.

not going to lie, that was real cool... that anemone did just say, yea, fine, I'm outta here. Come get me starfish.
