I don't know about the sponges but I know the CBA will not mess with the BTA. It might leave the sponges alone if you feed the CBA well.

I have had dwarf angelfish pick at weakend anemones, for that metter I have also had one destroyed by a keyhole angel.

I have a CBA she is very well behaved, she doesn't mess with my coral and stays far away from anemones. As long as you didn't get an adult WC coral beauty, you should be fine. If it is a young coral beauty it will be use to eating aquarium foods. Mine eats veggie flakes, nori seaweed, some mysis and she nips algae off the rocks. A lot of people that own a coral beauty have had no trouble with them.

Here is a picture of her with my xenias..its an old picture though.

Nem should be fine, but 50/50 on coral nipping.

Mine never touched (or even noticed) my nems. I don't have many corals, but it hasn't touched those either.
