Question on fish stocking order

So tank is still fairly new - 125 gallon with 55 gallon sump/refuge. Currently houses a kole tang, yellow watchman goby and 2 clownfish. My question is would i be ok adding a yellow tang as my next fish? I know they can get aggressive toward fish added after them but is their aggression more toward other tangs or would they also be aggressive toward other non-tang fish?
Still not completely decided what other fish i plan on adding in the future, possibly a group of anthias and a flame angel but not sure what else
And i know it all depends on the individual fish but any experience adding yellow tangs early would be appreciated

I don't know the answer to your question and I am new to this forum and fairly new at adding fish. But Flower told me to go and purchase this book:
Marine Fishes
500+ essential-to-know
Aquarium species
By: Scott W. Michael
I bought it Friday after work and it has been a tremendous help to me on determining what will go in my tank first. I almost finished reading the whole book. I hope that it helps and you get the answers that you need. I have also found just by poking around other threads I have gotten some very useful information.
