Can you put a yellow eye kole tang and a blue spotted kole tang in the same tank?

I have a 215 gallon FOWLR, and I currently have about ten small damsels, a very small picasso trigger, and a yellow eye kole tang. I also have about 225 lbs of live rock.
I want to get a blue spotted kole tang to put in the tank, but was unsure about having 2 kole tangs in the same tank. Do you think it will be ok to have 2 similar kole tangs in the same tank?
I am also planning on adding a porcupine puffer, a purple tang, a yellow tang, a red sea sailfin tang, and an atlantic blue tang at some point down the road.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would not mix 2 Ctenochaetus sp. together. Once had a Kole that chased my LMB. The Kole died after a hurrican and I then got a BlueEye Kole and it harrassed the Blenny to death. :(
Something about the Bristletooth competition.
I think the other fish you listed are OK but the puffer and trigger could grow into being fin nippers or worst...JMO
