Anemone proofing Koralia question

[happyclam]

I was wondering if anybody had any experience/ ideas on how to anemone proof Hydor Koralia powerheads. I know you can put a sort of mesh over most pumps, but the intake for a Koralia is sort of like a sphere cut in half, and I thought it made covering it with mesh a bit problematical. If I made a rock island comletely surrounded by sand on all sides for the anemone, would that prevent the anemone from reaching the powerhead, and thus not getting sucked in and not needing to cover the intakes of the pumps?

Some say to rubberband pieces of sponge to the intakes. Prevents the anemone from getting sucked into the slits

Thanks marc price! Thats really cool, I never even knew they made those. Did you know that because you have Koralias in your anemone tank?

Oh yeah, I forgot something. Does anybody know if the isolatted island for the anemone actually works ( i.e. prevents the anemone from roaming.)?

It will still roam. If it wants to.
