You know you really should be researching your stock purchases PRIOR to buying them so that you know that your set up is suitable for them.....If these are bleached as Geek says then you are probably only a step away from consigning them to the deep.....as they will unlikely survive.....I thought you were going to hypo your tank to get rid of ICH? if so what are you doing adding more livestock?
What Is Bleach ..please Descrbe
I Had A Plan For These Way Back
I Think You Are Right One Seems To Dieying For Sure
Becouse The Local Lps Does Keep Them Well
And He Is The Only Source
Anyways
I Always Do Things In Rush Sometime
I Did A Mistake ...
But How Can I Make Him Survive
Both Have Dug Themselves In Sand Completly In 8 Hours
Put Some Food In It Twice (plankton Tonic)
Other One Is More Bright And Tight
Does Bleaching Means Lossing The Power To Recapture Food Or Unable To Eat
Like That
Or
Bleach Is Something Else

Anemones generally eat small pieces of fish, squid, mussel, clam, etc. Something around 3 to 7mm in diameter. You'll need to place it in the tentacles with tweezers or chopsticks.
Bleached anemones have lost their their photosynthetic pigment. This means they will have problems using light to make their own food. So, you'll need to feed them while they regain their pigment. Feeding every other day should be OK.
Anemones need perfect water (no ammonia, nitrites, nitrates) and good lighting. They will not tolerate any kind of medication or hyposalinity treatment. They'll also sting and kill corals that are next to them.

Personally, I don't recomend using coppoer. There is quite a bit of research done with using copper and it is said to leave long term isues with fish. Not all fish can be treated with copper too. I'm not sure about the puffer.
What are you doing with the anemones during hypo? You can't put them in the tanks that were treated with copper. The copper will get absorbed by everything in the QT tank including silicon.
On a side note, the sun will be great for the anemones... Just don't over expose them to it as they may not have had that much light in a while.

the tank size of BOTH QT TANK WILL BE (LENGHT14*WIDTH10*HEIGHT12INCH)
SMALL TANKS
DO I NEED TO PUT HEATER IN INVERTS QT TANK
OR THEY WILL BE FINE (BECOUSE OF WINTER)
I WILL PUT ONE HEATER IN FISHES QT TANK
EVERYTHING IS PLANNED FOR NOW
BUT FOR PUFFER I NEED TO ARRANGE ONE MORE QT TANK FOR SCALELESS FISHES ...IWILL CUREE HER FIRST BY FRESHWATER DIP THEN USE
BIG FISH COMPANY ANTI PARASITE CURE WHICH IS TO BE SAID SAFE FOR MOST INVERTS AND SCALELESS FISH
EITHER WAY PUFFERS ARE PREETY HARDY
WHEN I STARTED MY TANK I WANTED TO KEEP HARDY FISH FIRST THEN SLOWLY COMING TO OTHER ANIMALS
I AM ALSO FACING A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH AMONIA AS ITS NOT GOING DOWN FROM .5 MG/L
ANYWAYS THATS SOMETHING MINOR
AS I AM GONNA PUT THEM IN QT SOON

A Separete Tank For Puffer(will Cure Her By Other Medicine)
Seperate Tank For Inverts+corals(will Put In Sunlight)
Seperate Tank For Fishes(will Cure Ich By Copper)
Total 3 Tanks To Cycle
Each 7 Gallon Qt Tanks In All I Am Planning
One Question
Does Anyone Knows The Popularity Of Puffer In Reef Tank ..any Myth
I Know They Are Not Reef Safe ...but If Feed With Good Food ..they May Leave Alone The Corals And Inverts

In all honesty you do not know how serious the ich issue is in your tank. That should be your first priority before purchashing any living organism.
Second, puffers and anemones are especially a horrible combination. i can almost guranttee that something bad is going to happen either to the puffer, anemone, or both. this is all assuming the ich doesn't kill everything.
