I wouldn't risk it.

Emps are pretty pugnacious with other species of angel - I've witnessed this first hand. Everything I've read has suggested two of the same species, juvvies or adults, would be a battle to the death in a (relative to the ocean) confined space.

Not a good idea. You might have been able to get away with it if the juv. was the established fish and you were adding the adult 2nd but since the adult is in now it will more than likely chase the juv. If the juv. survives you will also have issues when it starts to change into an adult.
I have a med. sized Asfur Angel and it generally chases most smaller fish for a few days after they are introduced. I can't imagine what it would do to another Asfur.

Hi

I think you are asking for trouble. The only case I know where it works at least halfway is a 5000L (ca. 1500 gal) tank. Even in such a big system the smaller one is chased around every once in a while.
IMO, don't risk it

Jens
