Ick and Anemone?

[sprieto]

So if I remove my live rock and 1 anemone to treat a main display tank for ick using hypo treatment, I read it's okay to leave the live rock in a bucket of salt water with a PH.
What about the anemone? Doesn't it need light? If I don't us medications, just the hypo treatment, besides removing the live rock, do I have to remove the anemone?
What will hypo treatment do to the anemone?
Is there a time frame for max hypo treatment? Or do you wait for visable signs?
Can you do hypo for do long of a period of time?

Yes, the anemone needs adequate reef lighting and high quality water conditions. Can your LFS babysit for a month?

No, I do not think my LFS would babysit.
Could I put the anemone in the 30 gallon I have (with other fish in it)?
Is there risk that the anemone could carry the infection to the other tank?
How immidiate should treatment implemented?
Should I start hypo ASAP or will a week or two not make a difference?
Is there any chance the fish(s) fight the infection with out any treatment?

Does your other tank have reef lighting??? If so, and the water conditions are good, then yes you can. No, the anemone will not carry ich, but any net, etc., that you use between tanks could. Be careful.
