Flasher / Fairy Wrasses and Social Acclimation Boxes

I have a flasher wrasse and fairy wrasse coming from Live Aquaria DD on Tuesday. From my research, a social acclimation box really is a must if there's already other wrasses in the tank (or aggressive fish for that matter). Currently, there are no other fish in the tank.

Should I still do the social acclimation box with a box for each one? Or release one into the DT and keep the other in a social acclimation for a few days? Or should I just release both into the DT at the same time? I'm not sure what's going to be the least stressful thing for these guys.

The tank is 125 gallons with no other fish (lots of zoas, gorgs, and other softies). One is C. roseafascia (initial phase) and the other is P. carpenteri (terminal male phase).

Thanks for your help.
 
An initial phase roseafascia is fine to add to the tank at the same time as the flasher in a tank without other wrasses.
 
That's kind of what I wondering... I've read both ends of the spectrum as far their aggressiveness, but since he's not yet in terminal phase, I was figuring he might be a little more on par with the flasher.
