If this is the same guy, then yes.

If you are worried, move him and anything else deeper in the tank. I've seen snails and
such outside of the water looking around, and have had Xenia and anemones, as well as
leather corals and SPS in the air for a few minutes during a big water change. Never seems
to cause them any noticeable damage or stress.

The quicker the better, of course!

Use a decent pump, and pump out your old water. You should be able to pump out
10 or 20 gallons in mere minutes, and then use the same pump to send your new
water into the tank. The anemone can handle three or four minutes in the air.

Would you recommend the same for a sea cucumber staying at the top?
I am talking about yellow Colochirus robustus - for some reason it always
prefers the place at the water surface...
