YellowTang/BennetButterfly

A few years ago I had a 30 gallon set-up w/ a yellow tang, and a few damsels. I introduced a bennet butterfly, (un-quarantined, I know, i was dumb at the time) and the tang savagly attacked the butterfly, but i have reason to believe it was in part b/c the butterfly was so sick it was about to meet it's doom within hours anyway (It had a bad case of ick at my lfs). I was wondering, if, when eventually I upgrade my tank, if I could try a benett again with a yellow tang, except introduce the tang last, and QT them both. I think there is nothing wrong with this, but I was wondering if tangs and butterflies have something against each other.
