If you have the option of having 2 tanks I think that is a better and safer approach regardless. Not saying one wouldn't work, I'll leave that to the experts since that would largely depend on the particular fish and I don't know much about them yet.
Now, what I do know is that flame angels are kind of delicate. I had two die on me during the first couple of days of TTM (one died, got a replacement and that one died as well)
If you still go with the one tank, make sure you have Prime on hand, an ammonia badge to keep an eye on the ammonia and good aeration.

Good Luck!
