Ive never acclimated any of my anems,but Ive always made sure they were deflated before adding then to the tank.I believe I got the idea it was OK doing it this way from Calfo.Its been a while but I think the reasoning was something like,most anems are in shallow water and that they can be subject to large temp swings due to the tides.Think of being high and dry in the sun or in a warm tide pool,then having the colder water washing over them when the tide comes in.Maybe for a better explanation search through Calfos forums,he can explain better than I can.So far I haven't encountered any problems doing it this way.Although it does make me wonder about some corals,they are subject to the same conditions, so in theory it would hold that they wouldn't need acclimation either. Maybe its the deflation part that makes the difference.

Try a search using "Anemone acclimation" or something like that should work
