Best way to keep anemone's out of Hydor Koralia

My 90G mixed reef is a about 3 1/2 year's old now. I've finally upgraded my lighting to AI Hydra LED's. I'm planning on adding an anemone. I don't want said anemone to be turned into a smoothy by my power heads. How are others solving this problem? Knee high panty hose?

My new BTA tried to feed itself to a MaxiJet ph from which it dislodged the protective cap. I have since glued the cap in place, and the anemone has moved behind the rockwork so that I can see only a very small part of it. It has been there for 4 months now, and its clownfish isn't happy with the location, and neither am I, but at least it isn't in the powerhead.

Yep...panty hose will work, cut to fit and use a zip tie or rubberband to hold it in place. The problem is that it clogs easy and you will have to clear it once a day. Filter material cut and held in place as well will work...anything you use as a filter will inhibit the water flow. If it clogs up the power head completely, it will burn it up, so you have to stay on top of it.
