Like John said, get them fat and conditioned before adding them. Venustus need some quiet TLC when you first get them. Have a qt tank with lots of live rock and plenty of algae growing on the rocks and sides. Keep the lighting down. Feed a little of everything (flake, pellets, mysis, shrimp, etc.) and see what it prefers. Even try freshly hatched brine shrimp. I've found that some of them prefer frozen brine in the beginning and can then be switched over to other foods.
My venustus are now pretty bold and have no problems with potters, flames, multicolors or larger angels or wrasses. But, I conditioned them first.
