you could try and pick out the algae that they are growing on. i find if they walk on the glass i can scrape them off and remove them. or kalk/lime paste should work if there are lots. remember tho, for every big one there a many times more small ones you can barley see. and peppermint shrimp may have a effect, especially on the small ones. good luck.

p.s. the Halimeda looks like it is greening up nicely. and signs of the reef snails yet? i added ~4 to the kelp bag.

Yeah, things look good, so far.
I was able to pull out ~6 anemones, but like you say, there'll likely be more hiding or too small to see.
They're actually in a 10gal quasi quarantine right now, that I used for the acclimation before putting them into the sump & main tank.
I did see the snails, they transported fine, but I'm not sure if they survived the drip acclimation I'll let you know how they fared, if I see them, again. They're definitely cool, though. I let the drip run for about 2.5hrs and the 2 I saw didn't look too good.
I've just got back from Fernie where I picked up some rubber gloves to handle the macro - I'm not keen on getting zapped by bristle/fire worms
I'll try putting things in place tonight.
