They can be exposed to air for a very long time. Just keep them in the cup when you move them.

I leave my anemone in the HT, just make sure it have support when I drain the tank of water and fill it back with tank water. If after a few days of treatment, there are algae growth then I just switch the tank and switch the divider, since I have multiple of these. You don't really have to have absolutely 100% new water, but just close enough. I don't sterilize the tank and equipment between days or anything like that. Just clean and keep them dry in between treatment.

Day 2
Day 2
3-23-2017 the morning after 100 % water change (removed a lot of junk) and second dose of Meds and I'm becoming optimistic, but I know there's a long way to go. Used the spare 10 gallon tank and dosed cipro at 25mg per gallon and transferred nems and there bowls to it. Both nems stayed inflated all night and appear to be holding their rigid folded appearance. Mouths are also tight, especially the gig. It's mouth has always looked decent, the haddoni on the other hand was deflating and turning its mouth inside out in the display but has maintained a semi closed mouth since treatment began. I will try to post photos from this morning.

With it's foot being injured, I would not move him from tank to tank. Just let it rest and heal.

Foot is now completely suctioned to the bowl he's in, I just lifted the bowl out of one tank and dipped it right into the other tank. After the first round of meds the tank he was in was full of mucus and black pellets. It needed to be moved. The discharge has appeared to slow tremendously on day 2, so I may leave them be and change max amount of water 90-100 % and redose meds each day.

True, but the idea is to maximize your success rate and rule out any possible mistakes.
In my experience, haddoni tend to be more resistant, but once they are infected, they typically die. And they go down quickly. They can easily spread it to gigantea.
On the other hand, gigantea are slower to recover, but definitely can recover.
In other words, when haddoni become infected, I usually tell people just to consider it a loss. But with gigantea, it's worth trying to treat them.
When you combine them both in one tank, the results are unpredictable.

I think this is probably your interpretation. Many who I've seen treat haddoni didn't need to treat them in the first place. Some haddoni take a while to adjust to their tanks and don't dig into the substate right away, but they aren't sick. Furthermore, a lot of people who acquire haddoni don't provide them with the proper environment (typically not enough sand to make the haddoni feel "comfortable") so they start treatment thinking the haddoni is sick because they're moving a lot or not digging in.
IME when a haddoni deflates multiple times and exposes its siphonoglyphs and has a loose mouth, it's typically too late.
I don't remember seeing a thread where a haddoni deflated multiple times and survived.
