:notsure:
I don't think that they pose a direct (eating) threat to anemones. More to crustaceans, seastars, snails, etc.
That being said, anemones require extremely good water quality and intense lighting that is not typical of aggressive tanks. So I would reconsider using live anemones. I think the anemones might not do well (though I do not know your lighting). Several artificial types are now available :yes:

i wouldn't do it, my friend had a trigger that ate both his anemones within a 2 week span.
