25g anemone tank question

So I have a 75g mixed reef tank, 20g sump. Plan is to take a 25g tank and link it to the 75g via the sump. I was wanting to have a bta of some form and a pair of clowns only in the 25g (don't want a nem dragging itself across any corals in the 75g) and I liked the idea of having only one tank system to maintain. Questions are: Is this a bad idea? Could having a small nem tank linked with my reef tank cause damge to my reef tank?

I know people have nems in with their reef tanks but thats not a risk I want to run. I guess I assume that if their ok in the tank than it should be ok in its own seperate but connected tank but I figure I'd ask just to make sure.

If curious, I chose a 25g tank because it shares the same height as my 75 g and it fits right next to the 75 g forming an L.
 
I have a tank with an anemone hooked up to the same sump as my reef and there are no problems. It is the same thing as having an anemone in your main tank except you dont have to worry about it getting near your corals.

Kinda what I figured but somehow, for some reason, last nights research got me freaked out for a sec...guess I shouldn't have the syfy channel on in the background...
 
lol, the only problem i can see is the nem may out grow the tank in time but as long as you only have one or two bta's you will be fine. post pics when you get it going!!
