I gotta agree with Muck on this. A couple of examples I can think of are the Zebra Mussel on the Great Lakes and, now don't quote me on this, but I believe there has recently been some debate here on the West Coast, lately, about farmed Atlantic Salmon and sea lice associated with that fish and that the lice is perceived to be encroaching on wild indigenous salmon stocks.
I vote to not return the anemones to the ocean. Sure, the chances of any contamination are probably remote, but unless the person is a marine biologist that knows what they are doing, why take the chance? Best to leave well enough alone, IMHO. Oh ya, and not take anymore unless legally allowed.
Cheers,
