We investigate the dynamics of two identical artificial active particles suspended in a free-standing fluid film with a trap of finite radius in an acoustic tweezer. In the two dimensional Oseen approximation, their hydrodynamic coupling is long ranged, which naturally raises the question as under what conditions they can simultaneously reside in the trap. We determine a critical value of the hydrodynamic coupling below which that happens and study the ensuing active pair dynamics inside the trap. For larger couplings, only one particle sits in the trap, while the other diffuses freely until it eventually replaces the particle in the trap. Such a mechanism repeats itself with a characteristic noise-dependent mean residence-retrapping time.
