Hi, Were they shipped in the same bag?
 
I did a little google snooping...you may be able to keep them both..keep a watch on them, others have kept two together.

2 are fine....I have looked into them myself.....
they should stay together.....these type will school.....but you also never know....every fish seems to have its own personality
 
and they also burrow

theyll hide, find a good wrock crevice or somethin but they down burrow like pencil wrasses do. if imnot mistaken soem fairy wrasses are liek that too. i had an exquisite a while back that just mucused up and didnt burrow. ive got a DSB so it not like they couldnt if they really wanted to burrow.
