I didn't do anything with mine. You definitely do not want to dip it. You can quarantine if you feel the need to as long as it's the only thing in that QT

If being cautions i would drip acclimate. Then scoop a bowl of tank water and dip him a few times to rinse the existing water off of it then put it right in DT to prevent transferimg lfs water into your system

I didn't think of acclimating him as I presumed that it was a normal and mandatory thing to do
But when I acclimate I put the bag in first to get same temp and then I do a drip acclimate at about 2 drops per second or so . I do that with all fish, corals. I then QT fish and dip ( using coral RX)

Unless your QT is set up with pretty sweet lighting(which most folks arnt)...it's likely to not be enough might not kill in a few weeks but could harm it.
Plus I dont think anemones are carriers of fish diseases(now the water they come in can be another thing)
I didnt with mine just did a drip acclimation and put it in(with the powerheads off) and left them off until it was attached to the rock.
