Gigantea & BTA together in 150?

Just Reefin'
Hey everyone... I just completed my upgrade from a 60 cube to a nice spacious 150G & 40B sump.. I have some RBTAs, and a BTAs from the old tank that have yet to be migrated to the new tank, they're currently sitting in a tupperware in the fuge.

I plan on getting a Gigantea here when everything settles down and wanted to know if I bother running the risk of chemical warfare in this tank between them. I have a willing party to take them, and don't want to chance it. I run carbon & GFO, but this tank has and will always be about the Gig, so I do NOT want to chance having any issues..

Thoughts?
 
I am keeping both Gigantea and BTA for several months (6 months) without problem. both species doing well and growing. They are not touching. I don't use any carbon on this tank for the last year. I only sometime use carbon to keep the water clear.
In this tank, I have Gigantea toughing Maxi without problem. Other species anemones included a H. malu pair. Everybody are doing great.

I did observed once when a Malu touch by a Gigantea, both withdraw quickly. IMO, this indicated stingging activity, so I separate the two 1st with a tile in between the two, then later move the rock with the Gigantea several inches away so they do not touch anymore.They are about 4-5 inches apart now and both doing great.
