SCS is correct, only temp acclimation is nessicary. But if it makes you feel safer, go ahead and do the whole process. Can't hurt anything.

Acclimation procedures for anemones are similar to acclimation procedures for other
sensitive invertebrates. When you first bring an anemone home, you will want to float
the anemone bag in your reef tank in order to equalize temperature. After 15 minutes or
so, you will want to open the bag and start to slowly dilute the bag’s water with water
from your system. There are many ways to do this, the easiest of which is referred to as
“drip acclimating”. Drip acclimation consists of setting up a small line of tubing that has
a very tiny amount reef water running through it from your system’s pump, and allowing
a small amount to “drip” into the anemone bag, so that over the course of an hour or so,
the water in the anemone bag is completely replaced with water from your system. When
you remove the anemone from the bag, gently place it somewhere in the tank where the
environment is best suited for the anemone species. Be cautious about providing too
much light too soon for an anemone that may have been out of bright light for a while.
