Yellow Eye Kole Tang and Blue Hippo

Does anyone know if these two tangs are compatible?

They should be. And better be...I have a kole in one tank and a hippo in another waiting to move in to the 180g. Everything I've read and heard indicates they should be fine.

I'll be watching to see what folks with actual experiance have to say

I think it would be best to add them at the same time so neither one has an established territory.

I have had that combination of tangs long term with no problems at all.

Yellow Belly Hippo, Kole and Mimic tang for 1 year. The Hippo is the largest and fastest grower of the 3. Added all three at the same time and has gone well for time they have been together.
My Kole ABSOLUTELY hated my LMB though. The LMB was the oldest fish in the tank. After a year of being harassed he eventually starved and died a couple of weeks back.
