I have my intake about halfway up my tank. How can I make it safer for
Anemones? If the Anemone was on the tanks bottom he couldn't reach the
intake. I am assuming that he floated off the live rock and fell into
it! Would a sponge surrounding the intake help?

I have a big problem giving an advice how to secure intake of
the canister filter if I do not see the reason to have such filter...

My advice would be to list this canister filter on eBay :-)
For money you can get selling this thing buy some live rock.

This is the only way I can see to asure your next anemone
will not be caught in the canister filter intake.
Anemones wander around until they find the good spot for themselves.
This is very normal and you cannot prevent this by glueing them
to the rock... This is the nature of the beast!

Instead of giving you another lecture I can recomend more books :-)
