Can I see a pic of the Anemone itself? Are they broken down/inside out yet? Get them into cleaner tank water in a separate container to observe.
 
That's better. Nems can come in with some nasty water. That one on the left doesn't look too bad, the other two are rough but could recover. Give them a little bit of time in there to see if they pull themselves back together a bit more before adding them to your system.
 
They are definitely stressed out but rock nems are pretty hardy. Acclimate them properly and put them some where they will be able to attach easily without the flow sending them adrift. May want to even put the flow on its lowest setting or turn them off for a few hours

You can probably move that one to your system now. The others do not look good. Are they footing down at all?

the big one i already move it, and the other two i still try to acclimate them. It seem they do foot down and start moving open and close
 
Go ahead and move them to a low flow area they can foot down in and monitor them.
