Perhaps the worm was already dead?

Lysmata spp. are very oppotunistic. If they don't get enough to eat, and sometimes if they do, they'll take other organisms, circle of life. Skunks are usually fine with corals, but may eat polychaetes, gammarids, etc. Peppermints will sometimes consume or tear apart polyps.
