Acclimation boxes are your best friend.

Good question really. All my tanks have one, but I haven't had >1 in any given tank. They are model citizens that never seem to bother other species anyway.

The consensus in this thread suggests a potentially bad outcome.

Two rabbit fish?

Can I keep a magnificent foxface and a scribbled rabbit fish together in the same tank?

I have kept multiple siganus sp. in the same tank before, and I wouldn't try it with 2 long snout species. I have had luck keeping a long and short snout species just fine, but if it were me, I'd just keep the magnificent in your scenario.
