Consider them mobile, and thus likely to eventually encounter each other. If this happens, one or the other will most likely kill the other. Even if they don't come in contact, I've heard anemones can sense others in the tank and release defensive toxins. I wouldn't do it.

I agree. I would think in a tank about that size they would eventually sense or encounter each other. And from what I have read a dead anemone can really destroy a tank. It would probabbly happen fast and be detrimental to most other stuff in the tank. If you were to put one anemone in that tank and "model" the rest of the tank around it you should be ok.
Just be sure you have researched the species you want.
