As long as your tank is ready for a nem it comes down to personal choice. It may wander around. It will eventually settle down though. However if you don't have a mature system I wouldn't get it either way. Nems require an aged tank, good lighting and stable parameters.

some folks regret adding BTA bc they split (sometimes often) and can quickly overtake ur tank... I'm currently facing this predicament and have too many BTA's that move and sting other corals. If u don't really have keen interest in one, then I'd recommend staying away.

Being worth it depends on so many factors .
how stable is your tank ?
Lighting sufficient to support a anemone ?
Are you prepared to cover all pumps with some sort of guards ?

a mature bta easily get 12" across and need stable water, decent lighting and flow.
aside from that, whether or not you want to occupy your entire nano with a single coral is up to you.
