You have to give us more info

How big is your tank?
What kind of Anemone?
What kind of filtration system do you have going?

Please give as much information as you can so we can help you.

What lock said, you probably want to quarantine your fish for the time being and use activated carbon.

tank is 95 gallon 20 gallon sump, minimal stocked with fish, lots of coral tho, so it is the anemone?? i already took him out of the tank, no trace of amonia so it must be the stupid ass anemone?

Don't stress about qt just do a huge water change ASAP qt fish may stress them out more. A water change will refresh the water and take out most the toxins depending on how big a change you can do... Dilution is the solution if you have to do one after another if your not set up for a larger change at once

The nem may still survive whe you do a water change put it in a bucket with heater and some flow of sort (flow not necessary) and it may heal itself and be ok just royally hurting ATM. But meme are like too and can take a bit of abuse if it dies at least it doesn't die in your tank

In a case like this use tap if you have to water conditioner or not you main goal is save the fish algae issues can be fixed later
