Juvenile imperator picking on a rock flower anemone

[Mperry622]

I've had The Rock flower anemone for several months and it totally looks healthy and opens all the time. I always seen it sucked back up and was curious why so I put a camera on it and I noticed the pattern. At least once a day only during the day my juvenile imperator comes over and picks at it. Not sure if it's looking for food or if he's actually hurting him trying to eat him.. should I move it to another tank or area or just leave it alone. I posted like 3 days worth of small snippets of what he's doing to him

So angels are not natural predators of anemones and this one isnt either. But what it is, is smart. I knows the nem catches food and it gets stuck there. If you watch in the second video you see the piece of sand or white debri on the nem, thats what the angel is pecking at. This isnt specifically harming the nem, as they get pecked in the wild all the time. It does look like that little angel is just doing angel things and is grazing around looking for tasty morsels.
