I don't recommend it in a 50g. The Hippo will get big fast.
The Yellow should be the last Tang introduced to a system. Very agressive.

There may be some initial squabbling but the two fish normally have no compatability issues. In any closed system, the addition of another fish causes some stress. This is more evident with larger fish being introduced. I would discourage you from adding a hepatus tang to your tank. These are active fish that need lots of lateral swimming room. This fish will be cramped in your tank and given their predispositon to parasites and other health issues, stressing it is only going to compound the problem.
