Heteractis crispa don't really attach with their pedal disk, but hold open in place with their verrucae.
Their preferred substrate is very deep sand, much deeper than practical for most tanks unfortunately. However in a pinch, a deep crevasse in rock should work as a substitute. When I kept this species it had its foot into a 2" crevasse, extended down at least 12". It would open up about 14" across. Literally it was held in place by inflating its pedal disk against the crevasse. Without something to brace themselves properly, they will literally float around in the current. This could spell disaster if they encounter a heater or pump/powerhead intake; so be very judicious about ensuring it is settled into a spot that is satisfactory to the anemone.

Well, he didn't make it
  whenI got home last night, it was shrivelled up and its guts were hanging out.he has been removed and disposed. my intakes were all protected, but it may have made contact with the heater. going to wait a couple of months, and perhaps try a BTA. I did a 5 gallon water change, I am changing my quick filter every 12 hours or so, and replaced the carbon in the quickfilter. I will be changing another 5 gallons when I get home. My skimmer does not seem to be working. the inside of the colection tube on top gets really dirty, but nothing rises to the top of the tube?? I have lowered the tube all the way to the bottom, with still no skimate? The tank is really cloudy after the Anemone "incident" so I know it should be pouring out the skimate......... weird? Any suggestions.

no this is fine, you still need help
 If your water is cloudy, I'd definitely be doing water changes, probably a 20-30% water change to start and test all your parameters to make sure nothing else is going on. And run carbon as well

Thats really too bad about your sebae.
 if its any consolation, the creatures don't fair well in travel sometimes and it was most likely doomed from before the day you bought it.

Take the time to find a healthy one. With the right tank conditions they are very hard to kill.
