I am planning on doing a nem only tank and was thinking of doing a gig, bta, and maybe a few maxi/rock. I was wondering if its possible to successfully keep that many species of anemones or at least the gig and bta's?
Different species nem only?

It is possible. I have a tank with a Mag, Bubbles, haddonis, rocks, mini maxis, and a sebae in it.
I also think @OrionN has a mixed species tank as well.
There are also a few others who have rocks, mini maxis, bubbles all together.

Thank you, glad to hear. Now time to bust my butt to get this 80g up and running!!
Biggest thing is to make sure you do not have a ton of nems that occupy the same areas. Some like rocks and some like sand or sand next to a rock. If they all want the same area, there will be warfare to get a spot. I have lost some mini maxis over the years to my haddonis lol. They rolled onto it and down the hatch they went lol.
if it was me, I would add the bubbles first, as they move the most settling in, at least in my experience. next would be the rocks/mini maxis, and then the gig. Gigs are usually easily placed and tend to not try and move as much as the others mentioned. Although, they can and will move if they want. There is always a risk someone may get eaten.

I have an anemone tank with exactly the nems you mentioned -- gigantea, BTAs, and a mini-maxi. They all touch without issue, though sometimes the BTAs look a bit annoyed with a gig gets too close.
Oh, there's also a magnifica in there ,temporarily. It's a 60 gallon flat.
