Should be fine... If corals can live in the water so can a nem.... That term established tank is thrown around to much... They say the same with Sps and I have done what you did moved water and rock to a new tank and dropped my sps in day one without issues..

I think it will a matter of it moving around. The lack of rock in the tank might make that an issue. And there is always the chance of it getting sucked in a powerhead, and it could sting corals as well. Other than that you should be fine.:neutral:

Only difference in an Anemone doing well in a system is the fact that they do better in a dirtier environment than a sterile SPS set up for frags. Not saying that it can not be done just IMO make sure it's well fed in a frag tank with little in the way of food in the water column. JMHO
