Surely move axis moves both extruders at the same time?

Axis generally means X, Y or Z. Do you mean extrude or retract filament? What kind of printer do you have? Have you configured Marlin with multiple hot ends? You're not giving us much information to go on.

I have dual extrudes and i configurated marlin
I modified the number of extruders and the temp sensors 2
When i want to try the extrudes from LCD i found in move axis just the first extruder.

Move axis means move in X, Y and Z planes. Do you mean extrude instead of move axis?

Only one extruder can work at any time. To switch between them you can use gcode (T0, T1). If you know a bit about how to adjust the firmware you might be able to add a switch between extruders to the menu.
