I will soon be receiving a delivery of fish and inverts. My display tank came down with ich once in the past so now I always put my new fish in a quatintine tank. Is it necesary to quarintine my inverts before placing in my display tank?

Yes, anything wet needs to be put into QT. Anything wet because it is in WATER to begin with which may be harboring free swimming ich parasites or other diseases.

Are there any other options for an anenome? I would like to avoid moving it twice.

Nope. If there is water there is the chance of ich or other diseases in the water that the new inhabitant is in.
