You can try having an isolated rock surrounded by sand. From what I've seen, some anemones are reluctant to crawl onto sand. The biggest thing is to keep the 'nem happy. If you give it a spot with lots of light and decent flow, it should stay right where you put it. I've also seen the technique of pointing a powerhead directly at (or coming from) the area you don't want the anemone to cross. The 'nem will often be reluctant to cross a powerful stream of water. On the other hand they often crawl into powerhead intakes . Putting anemones in a tank with other corals is always a risk. Have you considered one of the more colorful frogspawns as a substitute?

mine did before they went for my toadstool. I have seen alot of them use frogspawns as their home.

Just get yourself informed (read) on the type of nem that you want to keep, and try to find a spot in your tank that meets all of his needs pretty well, and chances are it won't move. Watch him closely the first week or so he is in your tank, and you should be alright.

My percs host in my frogspawn. They've also hosted in my xenia as well.
