Mixing nems? Fast response needed!

I have a 33 gallon tank with a fairly large BTA and several soft corals. I have a very good deal facing me regarding sebae or maroon anemones (I think it's an RBTA). I was wondering if I would be able to add one of the latter to my tank with few issues? I have a good skimmer, chaetomorpha, and carbon and GFO; my last water change saw the removal of crystal clear water, not yellow at all.
Thanks

to walking anemones in a reef tank is a bad idea one is hard enough to contain when it starts to walk. the next problem you are going to have is if one walks into another it could be war once one dies from the battle it can cause massive water quality issues even with a good skimmer resulting in a ammonia spike that can take out the rest of the tank.

My BTA hasn't moved since I got it, that was a tank ago... what if I were to keep up the carbon changing, and monitor the nems daily? Would this prevent fighting, both chemically and physically?
My problem here is that I have basically read all over the internet and my responses are so far 50:50 on this question... thanks for the responses

wont realy help with the extra carbon if the start to fight its going to tentical to tentical. the main thing is that they can just decide to let go out of no where and get blown or wander into the other in a matter of minutes. if I were going to have more than one I would go with the same species there would be less likely a fight then but there is still that possibility and risk.

You could get the RBTA, assuming it is indeed that. Since it's the same species as your own they will not harm each other.
