First, Hows your lighting? Anemonies can be deadly of course to corals, and they will wander intially until they get settled stinging everything in their path, BUT that being said IT CAN BE DONE and their are even some mods on here that have anemonies with corals.

Your lighting is borderline asuming the Anemonie can make its way to near the top of the tank via live rock, does your live rock make it to close to the top? Chances are if your lighting isnt sufficient enough, the anemonie will wander looking for sufficient light stinging your corals along the way... sorry.
