New to using an acclimation box with new fish. I just received a new tiny CB purple tang and a small 6 line wrasse. I have a printed reef 11x5x5 box. Should I put both in the box or just the tang? Any other tips would be great!
 
Were they already together? The purpose of an acclimation box is to introduce new fish to the fish in the tank. If they have been in QT together prior to this or if they came from the same tank then they wouldn't have any reason to not be in the acclimation box together.

I ended up just keeping the purple tang in the box and letting the six line fend for itself in the tank.
