That's way too small of a tank to be mixing that many nems. I would stick with just the BTAs. You will have some warfare going on if not.

I second that, I have seen anemones send the tips of the tentacles around the aquarium to defend themselves, the other anemone then gets stung repeatedly and it is a challenge to help them at that point. I would agree

you will have the best luck with BTA’s as well.

It's not just the tips that will cause issues. There will be allopathy issues too. Basically chemical warefare going on in the tank.

You can do as you please but just note there has been some people now that warned you mixing nems in that small of a tank will turn into a battlefield.

Cool idea, can’t wait to see it. If you introduce clowns do it at the same time. Start with small ones. I think multiples would be hard in a smaller tank.
