My apologizes I completely misunderstood your question, I thought your were asking for a fifth fish to add the to mix.
Those 4 would (read might) work if you purchased them at the correct size. A small <3" Clown trigger, Sub-adult Emperor, larger Regal tang, and a medium sized Dogface. However, I would strongly recommend researching the history of people who kept clown triggers. They are a fish that seem to randomly "snap" and kill all the tankmates. There are a number of people who have kept clown triggers that have been fine, but it's worth pointing out the many incidents with other Clowns, and if it's something your comfortable with.
If you are asking about a "stress free" environment because of problems with Ich and other dieases, it unfortunate, but almost all of the larger fish commonly kept in aquariums are subject to diseases if not properly quartered.

Any time a Clown Trigger is in the mix; there will always the potential for war. CTs can play nice, sometimes for years, then go postal and kill or maim everything in the tank. These are gorgeous, fascinating fish; but, after several "experiments' over many years, I'm convinced they belong by themselves. (at least long-term).
Also, I'm not sure "stress free" is really possible, especially with larger fish. If you QT everything from day 1; you'll never have to worry about stress causing ich, or any other parasite, to appear.

Funny thing about CTs: they are tough as nails; but getting them through the "tiny-yellow nose" size is often very tough. Good luck.
