purple tang too aggressive for fairy/flasher wrasses?

My 300 is just about done I plan on housing a bunch of the nice fairy wrasses, maybe a flasher or two, some anthias, and a few peaceful tangs. Would a purple be too aggressive if I added him early? Should I add him last? Or neither, and get a more peaceful black tang?

Oh, and I'll have a yellow I plan to add at the same time.

Thanks
 
I think most would say to add him last. I have a purple tang with a yellow wrasse, anthias, clowns, pygmy angel, firefish, flame hawkfish, mandarin and I have seen very little aggression from the purple. My larger Borbonius Anthias of a pair is the most aggressive fish in the tank. I'm getting ready to add a Lineatus fairy wrasse. I hope it goes well.(I will socially acclimate) My tank is much smaller than yours at 90 gal so I would think your Purple Tang would be a happy camper in 300 gal. I would still add him last.
Good luck!
