Was looking to get two small Coral Beauties as my next addition to my tank. Wanted to see what others thoughts are as far as keeping two together. My tank is 240 gallon 4' cube with a 55 gallon chaeto rock rubble fuge and a 55 gallon sump.
Stock is
2 Firefish
2 Randall's gobies
2 Ocelleris clowns
2 pinkline wrasse
4 green clown gobies
3 Scissortail dartfish
7 dispar anthias (in quarantine)
I just got the anthias so it will be at least 6 weeks before I get the angels, but with so much conflicting info out there I was hoping to hear from some hands on experience with trying to pair these up, or if there was a better option in a dwarf angel.

You have a large enough tank for it, if you have lot of rock work to allow darting in and out, hiding, then you should be ok with a pair. Only caveat is their aggression toward any fish added after them. I'm not sure if sex is a factor for coral beauty, but my two flame angels are doing fine as a bonded pair in the 180.

You will need to either get two at the same small size and let them fight out who will be the dominant one or get a small one and a larger one

Thanks for the replies seems like it should work.

Should work....I have 4 flame angels (that appear to be 2 pairs) and a pair of Multifasciatus angels, (that I'm thinking to add 3 more)...also have 1 coral beauty, a Regal and 4 Genicanthus ...all in a 450g DT, without any problem over the past few years
