I wouldn't. Your water quality is going to fluctuate because evaporation will be evaporating a substantial portion of your tank water. Anenmies require very good water quality in order to remain healthy in a system. I am sure there are other reasons, I've always been told by friends in the hobby not to keep an anemone in anything less than 10 gallons, and even in a 10 gal has raised concern among them.
I just figured i would throw my two cents in

I thought it was a fair question. I know they came from the ocean but so did everything else that people put it in nanos and smaller tanks!
I have a 110 and are very aware of what fits in that however, I am not with my 2.5g and thought I would ask. while ignorance is bliss I thought I would learn a little instead of just try it and kill something!
I thought it would be too small but I thought I would be rather safe then sorry!!

as for the anemone, if you had better lights, you may be able to keep a tube anemone.... but i have absolutely NO experience with them... i am going down to the lfs for a good discussion about them with one of the more experienced employees
if i learn anything i will tell you... i have seen some VERY cool ones

You should have kept your original comment to yourself saying "ya, please ask it in a different way, its responses like those that make people not want to ask questions...."
