Anemone won’t attach to anything
It has been in the tank for awhile and has been fine but now this is happening

I think those are mesenterial filaments, which means that the foot of the anemone has tears on it's surface, basically its guts spilling out. Based on my experience, you should put the anemone into an additional container if you don't have a quarantine tank, to prevent additional injuries, and see if it gets better. If it starts to rot and smells awful (ammonia?), it will be better if you put it in the trash. I'm sorry if i'm wrong. I hope your anemone gets better!

He there,
I’m not sure but that could be a flat worm. Hard to tell from the photo

It’s difficult to tell from the photo but that might be a flat worm if it is not actually a part of the anemone. If your tank has a know worm problem this might be something to investigate. Good luck
