Question of QTing a Anemone

Do I do the freshwater dip on the new anemone that I am about to get?

Can I put the anemone in a QT with a longnose hawkfish and a tomato clownfish?

How can I cure the commmon disease that anemones carry?

The QT contains a hang on filter and a sponge filter, been running for 4 weeks now, and it also contains to clean PVC pipes, is this a correct environment for the anemone to be placed in?

Thanks alot to whoever response to this =)

As a generality, invertebrates are never freshwater dipped. Maybe some are that I'm unaware of.

The general quarantine guidelines found here are what I would follow:
An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure: A Quarantine Tank for Everything by Steven Pro - Reefkeeping.com

I would not quarantine any marine life with other marine life. The anemone should be alone. It should not be the target of being picked upon or 'hosted' by an anemonefish.

The public thinks that the anemone gets a great reward (of being fed) from the anemonefish, but in reality, the anemonefish is an irritation to the anemone. I think if they could be 'asked' the anemone would not want to have a hosting fish.

So QT alone. What you have in your QT setup sounds right to me, as per the above reference. Beyond those questions, I have no answers. The quarantine of invertebrates are generally to be sure the specimen is healthy and not carrying any unwanted hitchhikers.
