wait a whole on the anemones(several months and do alot of research on them first, they have a high mortality rate, just be sure you are ready)
as for the fish, the angel should not be added to a tank that has not matured a bit(wait about 6 months, post cycle)
the others should be fine, jsu twith the bengaiis get them at the same time
and no for your inverts(now don't take this the wrong way), the cbs may be a problem with the other shrimp, they are quite aggressive esp towards other shrimp, the arrow is even more so towards everything, with them it is purely hit and miss as to whether they will or won't go through everything else in your tank, including fish, sometimes tehy don't but he nature of this beast(which is a good description in many cases) is that it can and generally does attack just about anything it can get it's claws on, and likes to eat tehm too, so snails and shrimp would more than likely be snack food and maybe some fish for the arrow
everything else sounds good,, for a 65 gallon lighing, maybe 3 or 4 pc's at 65 watts, or some mh's suspended for heat and a NO flo for actinic light
HTH and good luck
