To be honest I'm not sure if you could keep either one in a 200, let alone both. I don't keep big fish so I wouldn't know too well this is just a hunch, maybe rest of #reefsquad could help

They can be kept together in a larger tank although I’ve kept 4 large angels together in a 180 in the past, it was temporary digs. I now have several in my 500 gal, including these two.

I always thought 2 large angels would fight til the end let alone 4 in the same tank. Was I giving false info or was your case kinda lucky?

I have both in a 300 with no issues but that extra 100 gallons may make a difference.

This is generally a good assumption. Luck, a large tank, extra fish to spread aggression all probably helped.
