Define work in the tank. If you have the lighting for one sure. They do t get that big.

That'll keep any photosynthetic anemone. If you want to give it a shot, I'd just make sure to wait until the tank matures more so it is stable enough not to stress it. One moving around the tank and onto corals is a tragedy.
6-12 months and it will be stable enough.
Acclimation is easy. If you drip acclimate things to adjust them to your water, you need to slowly acclimate them to your lighting too. So you turn them down and slowly turn them up every week.
The why is easy. The tank is maturing. In that time you can even have small mini cycles and other things happen that can be stressful to an anemone. I jumped the gun on a green BTA and it didn't survive because I lacked patience. It never found a home where it wasn't stressed and would hide.
Your light should be great!
Wait at least 6 months like Hank said.
You are going to have a lot of fun in that time with the tank.
The nem needs a stable tank(NO I don't know why stuff....).
Once your running 6+ months and YOU feel like you have a good grip then you NEM!
Even if you think know about the system before 6 months ,the water is not ready yet.
Drip acclimate in a bag or container IN the tank itself if you can. Temp will always match then.
I haven't ever been successful with shrimp either. They are simply sensitive and they can be hurt without noticing when caught, even in the fish store.

are you sure it's a dead shrimp or is it a molt my $ is on a molt
my reef is kept at 81* but 82* isn't bad either it's anything above that's a issue
What is your source water?
