Mixing butterflyfish

I currently have a copperband in my 75g. He is my only fish. He is not the muelleri species that get larger. He is eating very well. I have live rock to pick at. Now im not saying im going to do it, but i am thinking of adding a Heniochus Chrystosomus commonly called the threeband butterfly or pennant butterfly. Both fish grow to about 6-7".

i know its a coral liability with these fish but i am okay with that.

LA says both species are peaceful, but reefers with experience would know for sure. Do you think they will fight or be aggressive to eachother?

If this could workout they would be my only "big" fish, no tangs, just the rest small fish like clowns grammas etc. I also will not be adding this fish, if i believe it is a good choice, for atleast a month.

What do you think?

Here is a picture so you dont get it confused with the traditional black and white heniochus.
