I have a 125 gallon tank with lots of corals and live rock. I currently have a maroon clownfish and a domino damsel. I want to add a coral beauty angelfish and a clown tang. I am thinking about ordering them online, can I add them at the same time? Are these fish a bad idea?
 
coral beauty's are nice fish, pretty and mostly friendly, but you also currently have two very aggressive fish. Since your tank is big you should be ok since they will have space to run if trouble occurs. The coral beauty might pick at corals though, as many angels are know to nip. Don't know much about the tang, other than they eat alot, and poo alot.
 
Those are two nice fish. The coral beauty is generally easy to care for but it can eat your corals. Not saying there is a 100% chance it will but most angels are known to eat the coral. The clown tang is moderately easy to keep and are great in a reef tank. They tend to eat algae all day long. The tang can be very susceptible to ich and you will want to have peak water conditions. I agree with the tank size. You have a very large tank and it shouldn't be a problem.
 
Do not assume your maroon is going to be passive. It can be one very aggressive fish with any new fish into its territory.
 
That clown tang is going to become a terror. I'd add it last, or not at all, since I assume you will want to add more fish in the future.
