I understand BTAs are practically harmless. Other than those, what anemones can I keep with small fish like:
twin spotted hogfish
fire fish
royal gramma
small wrasse
cardinals
hawkfish

I want to start a 75 gallon anemone tank but want to keep more than just clown fish.
 
The only anemone that I have kept that has been an issue with eating fish has been S. haddoni.
Have had no issues with;
M. doreensis ( LTA )
E. quadricolor ( BTA )
H. Crispa
H. malu
 
I'm still new to this, but isn't the fish in weakened state or close to dying when eaten by nems, or will they actively try and catch a healthy fish? I havea 3 month old tank with just a Fire Fish and Gramma, but I want to get a pair of clowns with a nem in a month or two.

With my fish that were eaten by S. haddonis they were fully healthy fish that made the mistake of running into the anemones. Once it was a newly released fish, one was chasing the clowns and got to close. The others I only saw the after effect, but know that they were healthy at the time.
 
Just put all bta and like 30 clownfish. Go to YouTube and search up bulkreefsupplues clownf harem
 
No such thing as a harmless nem. Once grow to size to have the appetite nothingnis safe except clowns since they can effectively become "invisible" to the nem tentacles. If nem can grab it, it can eat it. Even clowns occasionally fall prey to their host nem.
