With BTA's in there, expect them to move around a certain amount and sting anything in close proximity. Mine does in my 125 gallon, and the surrounding leathers/gorg do get stung and close up for quite a while. They do grow fairly quickly as well, so your tank may be full of BTA's if you start out with 3 or 4. A tank dedicated to BTA's would be pretty cool looking though. Big Al's in Edmonton has a tank full of red BTA's that is awesome!
The lemonpeel may be good with the corals for a long time, and then one day decide it will eat the whole thing. That is the risk with them. You may want to consider a different fish if you are worried about that happening, or just scrap the idea of another fish altogether.
I've had sexy shrimp with all similar types of fish that you have in there, and not had any problems. They did have 2 tube anemones to protect them though, so not sure if that was why, or just none of the fish would go after them.

Will the lemonpeel eat the BTA's?

I haven't heard of them eating anemones before. My dwarf angels never touched any of me anemones.
