Actually, you should buy smaller fish that you can handle. If you do not QT, you will eventually wish you did.
Quarantine, to do, or not to do?

In my opinion, no. I just added a blog entry to my blog about the best quarantine protocol. Worth a read . . .

How big is your display tank and what else is in it?

That's a 4-foot 120-gallon tank for those of you who don't do metric. You're already over the limit with two zebrasomas and your tank is way too small for a sohal. You really shouldn't be adding anything else in there, IMO.My display tank dimensions are: 120cm x 65cm x 65cm
I already have:
Zebrasoma Tangs(Yellow & Purple)
Sohal
5 percula
2 squamipinnis anthias
Royal Gramma
Flame angelfish
That's it for the meantime
You will eventually also run into big problems with all of those clowns unless they are all from the same clutch.
That is a virtual certainty.
The clownfish will almost certain result in at most two as they become sexually differentiated.

With all that, all I would say is "so far". Give it time.

As you said "So far"
But what are you saying about the blue powder?
Don't add another tang.

Just one fish out of ALL those fish at the LFS and bang, you're rocking an empty DT for at least 6 weeks. Whether its empty cause all your fish or dead or because you've got them all in a hospital tank is up to you, but some of this stuff (like velvet or brook) is a lot less forgiving than simple ich. I learned it the hard way. I put a fish in I bought from a guy who had a tank running fine for 1 year. Turns out his fish were just resistant to it, because when I stuck the fish in my DT, two of my other fish started getting spots.
