Blue hippo and orange shoulder tang

[calereef24]

Just looking for some opinions on an orange shoulder going with a blue hippo. The orange shoulder is 5-6” and the blue hippo is still a little guy and only 2-2.5”. Wondering how some people would recommend introducing the orange shoulder if it’s even recommended to add him. I have a 55 gal I could put him into by himself if he becomes aggressive but a friend of mine is selling the orange shoulder and I’ve always wanted one.

tank info :

135gal reef tank (72”long)
120lbs live rock
140lbs live sand

Live stock :
1 5in lunar wrasse (almost always peaceful)
1 3.5in blue headed wrasse (peaceful)
2 2.5in clowns (peaceful)
1 2in Dottyback (peaceful)
2 3in firefish (peaceful)
1 2-2.5in blue tang (skittish)
1 4in coral beauty angle (peaceful)

Water is perfect and I do tank maintenance so that’s not really a concern with adding the orange shoulder.
Thanks all! Any other info needed, feel free to ask!

I don't see a problem, if it was another zebra after already having a yellow and scopas for example that may be a problem.

I’m not seeing a huge issue right off the bat. You may end up with a reverse issue of the orange shoulder picking on the blue tang

Alright, that’s what I was thinking. what do you think about the size difference? I worry since the orange shoulder is 5-6in and the blue hippo is 2-3 that the orange shoulder may become aggressive

That’s my concern, anything you’d recommend to keep them peaceful?

My only thoughts would be either an acclimation box and or the mirror trick (placing a mirror on the side of the tank to distract aggression purposes)
