Downgrading from a 360 gallon to two 120 gallon tanks.

Hello, I have a lightly stocked tank considering its size and had a few concerns about some of the fish moving to smaller tanks. They are currently in a 8'x36"x24" tall 360 gallon tank and will be moved to two 48"x24"x24" tanks with a shared sump.

2 dispar anthias will be adding a few more of these
2 flame angels (pair)
1 six line wrasse
1 royal gramma
1 firefish
1 clarke clown that will be finding a new home during this transition
1 swallow tail (spot breast) angel
1 zebra eel
and the one I am concerned about,
1 blue throat trigger mail. he is approaching 4" and is super healthy. He mainly spends his time on one side of the tank so it almost the same space as I would be moving him to. My plan is to add just enough rock to the tank I put him in to allow for hiding spots but leave it as open as possible. We are planning to move in a few years so at that point I can dig the big tank back out again I suppose but I wondered if others have kept a blue throat in a similar sized tank?
Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

i personally wouldn't keep a trigger under 6ft long tank they grow big an need as much swimming room as tangs if not more ..
