VHO are very good lights. You could do just about anything in both tanks, given that the corals are placed right and you can satisfy their flow requirements. People get all caught up in how many watts per gallon they have. I had a chance to talk to Anthony Calfo this last January at our DMS meeting. We talked for a little on lighting and he assured me that you don't need some super expensive light setup. In my only current tank, at work, I have 2 96W power compacts. I used to have some LPS, but now it's all softies and anemones.
All anemones and for the most part, corals, are stinging celled animals called Cnidarians. Some anemones are just more "sticky" than others. Carpet anemones are know fish eaters. I cannot prove a single loss to my RBTAs in my tank at work. If you want an anemone, a BTA or RBTA is a good first choice after the tank matures. By that I would say about 6 months.
I have a Flame Angel in my tank at work. He picked every LPS I had to death, but leaves my shrooms, RBTAs, polyps, and Leathers alone. After what he did to my Fungia and Galaxea, i wouldn't trust him around another LPS or clam. Don't really think there is a limit to how many corals you place in at a time. Just make sure that you place them appropriately and plan for them to grow. Leathers, xenia, Green Star polyps grow like weeds, so keep that in mind.
