Want to get a BTA, but i already have a primarily Euphyilla tank (hammers octospawn and hammer) wondering if that could work, i’ve heard both sides
thanks!

It can work but it is very risky if the bta doesn’t have ample room to move around, what kind are you planning on getting?

Great! The tank is nice and open so should be absolutely no problem for the nem to settle, I must still warn you that rbtas split a lot and can quickly take over a tank if not monitored
 
BTAs are one of the few anemones that inflate and float around the tank like a balloon. There's the possibility of it landing on your Euphyilla or having a bad run-in with a powerhead.

But, if it were me, I'd do it. That's just because BTAs add a burst of color that almost no other coral/invert can. If you create a BTA island and provide it with the lighting and other parameters to its liking, it mitigates it leaving the island, preventing it from bothering your other corals.
