Never had a multibarred long enough to comment on it. I added a male Venustus in 11/09 to the DT with male Coral Beauty (10/09) and 3 Flame angels (10/07). The Venustus will not engage with the CB which is the trouble maker and the Flame angels ignore him.
I would highly recommend QT the Venustus and allow it to learn to eat prepared food before adding to the DT. I don't see any problem with either choice (especially in a 270) as long as it's eating first and you've plenty of hiding places.

I had a multibarred for a couple years and got it eating in QT first. They are very shy and once acclimated to foods and the dt they cruise around in the liverock much like a fireball angel. Mine loved picking at the liverock for pods, and critters. He would only eat frozen, This fish was the only one i could not get to eat pellets.

I would add both a Venustus and the multibar. I've got a beautiful trio of multibars in my 300 right now and I am on the hunt for a nice Venustus to add with them!!!
