Bta vs soft corals?

I just picked up a h. aurora nem from someone in my local reef club and while I was there they showed me a teeny, tiny bta they were trying to sell cheap. I ended up claiming the bta, it's prob 1-1.5" or so across and now I'm thinking it might easily get lost in my 75g. I am thinking of maybe putting it in my pico but am a bit worried about it wandering and stinging my corals.
The coral in my pico are diff shrooms, zoas/palys, pipe organ, chalice and dendros. (I know dendros and chalice aren't softies. Lol.)
Do I need to worry about this tiny nem hurting/killing them?

BTAs are notorious for moving.

Are you sure it's a BTA and not a Majano? If you're 100% sure I would put it in the DT and keep an eye on it, it should be fine in there. If you put it in your pico it could kill some of your corals from moving around and keeping it happy in that small of a tank will be almost impossible.
 
Ok thanks. This is it. Was supposed to be a rescue nem. They had got 2 of them bleached out from somebody.
