Looking to add new anemone

I've been reading posts here for quite awhile and am in awe of all of your tanks. I'd like to add a few more anemones to my tank and would like some advice.

I have an 80 gallon tank and a 30 gallon sump with Kessil a350w lights.

Current fish are Carberryi Anthias, Engineer Goby, Yellow Tang, 2 Mated Ocellsris Clowns (orange and black), Fire Shrimp

I have 3 anemones. Two rbta (one about 8" and one about 2"). I also have another long tentacle anemone that I don't know what it is. Photo attached. Any ideas?

I would like to add a green bta and a blue carpet. Do you think they will all work ok together?

I'd also like to add more clowns but know that's not possible. Any suggestions on other fish that would work?

adding more BTAs is definitely possible. as many as you like. carpets require a little more attention so you should ask what's best for your tank. I have BTA and added Haddoni after. I had to turn down my Gyre from 70% to 40%. Also had to buy another 20lbs of sand.

adding more clowns is a gamble. some people get lucky.
 
Looks like a LTA, what color is the foot and do you have any other pictures to confirm ID.

You could add another BTA, but I agree with monkie that you may want to really take a look at all of the different carpets and see what their requirements are before getting one. Also remember most of them can get HUGE

The foot is red. Here's another pic. Thanks!

LTA/M. doreensis

Personally I'd stop where you are, maybe a BTA add, maybe, but you are going to be crammed full of nem and your fish won't have room to swim.
Carpet mixed in, could have chem warfare/allelopathy, maybe, and they will all end up touching, usually not good if not same species.

Yep it is a LTA/M. Doreensis

I agree with Dave even adding a BTA is pushing it since you will end up with BTA's splitting , usually after a big feed or even a WC.
