It worked well and they quickly formed a couple. After a month in quarantine I moved them both to the main tank and they have been together ever since. They have a much more natural behavior, exploring, hosting coral, cleaning rock as to prepair for laying eggs...they sleep together etc.

I think I did the right thing and I prefer to see them behave as a couple.

My pair will not go further than about 8" from their anemone. They never explore the tank. Ever.
