Aiptasia in chaeto

[Chewy954]

Hi all, quick question. I received some Chaeto and placed it in my sump. I'm noticing glass anemones(Aiptasia) all over the chaeto(has been in my sump 3-4 weeks). I removed the chaeto and placed it in a 5g bucket with RO water and scraped the glass anemones(Aiptasia) off of the glass.
My question is how long will the glass anemones(Aiptasia) last in the RO Filled bucket?
I'm hoping I can save the chaeto.. It had good life as well, but it's not worth the risk to save at the cost of having Aiptasia.
Thanks all.

IMO not worth it, just get new cheato. Those little buggers are shockingly resilient and.
