Adding Watanabei Pair

[DrSoussou]

Hey everyone, I have a bonded pair of Watanabei Angels on the way that should arrive Friday. I'm wondering if you guys have any tips for keeping them together and acclimating them safely. I have a 150 gal reef tank with 5 wrasses, a pair of maroons, a mandarin, and one anthias. I've been told they like deep-water conditions so slightly colder with the lights off facilitates acclimation. Any tips along those lines would be appreciated, thanks!

PS: I'll be sure to post pics and updates when the time comes

I would say good luck. My buddy had a pair that the male constantly beat on and harassed the female to the point the male had to be removed. They were in a 125g by themselves

I would say good luck.

Very difficult to establish a pair.

I have a trio.
In the evening plenty of chasing between all 3 back & forth. The male even chases the fusiliers.
Lights out is a good idea, my temp is 76.8 -77.2.
