He'll probably live - just keep the Tunze turned off and let him pull himself out of the powerhead on his own. They're remarkably hardy if they've already acclimated to your tank. Keep a close eye on him though to make sure that he doesn't start dissolving. If they're on the way out, things can turn ugly really quickly.

BTW, "real bad luck" doesn't quite cover this situation - you should have known that anemones tend to wander and require that powerheads be covered up to prevent damage. This is even true with the powerheads with dispersed intakes like the Streams, the Nano Streams, and the Korallias. I would advise you to do some research regarding the husbandry for anemones.
