Yellow+Kole+Purple Tangs in 125?

I'm starting to stock my 125 gal tank, and began with 2 ocellaris clowns. Ideally my wife and I would like to complete our stock list with the three tangs mentioned in the title above - is it doable if the only other fish in the tank are the 2 clowns, a royal gramma, a midas blenny, a six-line wrasse, and (maybe) a flame angel? The yellow and purple, both being zebrasoma, may show aggression toward each other, but would adding all three at the same time mitigate that?
 
It can be done but it won't work long term in the tank you have so I can't advise it, but yes it can be done. I had two purples and two powder blues in my 180g a few yrs ago and in my 220g I have a Desjaradini sailfin, Tomni, orange shoulder and a Achilles with some posturing occasionally but no fighting, oh and I have a fox face which isn't a tang but they are treated as one among tangs. Adding the kole first followed by the purple and yellow together is key and I would get them the same size, some say different sizes but I have had my success with the same size small tang (3") or less
