I have a 10 gallon mini reef tank currently it’s 22 inches long and 12 inches tall
I currently have two clowns / watchman goby / cleaner shrimp feather dusters

Toadstool coral / Duncan whisky coral / green tips

Want to get a anemone that’ll survive in the tank was going to setup some rocks on the away from the other coral and get a BTA

Have a marine orbit light everyone in the tank is doing okay and growing nicely

Need some advice will the bta survive or is this a bad idea
 
All anemones grow rather large; the BTA could get as large as your entire tank itself. With that being said, I have a BTA in my 14 gallon nano; placement is key here. It will stretch and contort itself to sting everything around it, so flow is vital to keep it in one direction away from other corals. They grow rather quickly too, so ensure you leave plenty of room.
 
Rockflower would be a good choice for a ten gallon. I wouldn't do a BTA, too big for a 10.
 
How old is the tank? Most recommend not adding 'nems until the tank is at least a year old and stable. Also 3 fish in a 10g tank is pushing the bioload. What kind of clowns? That toady will take over the tank too. I just swapped mine out of my 14g. It was about 50 cent size when I bought it. A year later it was over 6" across and growing. Swapped it out for a pretty little Green Devil's Hand. I'm not trying to bring ya down, just a few observations and personal experience.
