Do I add these fish?

I’m thinking of ordering a 4-5” sailfin tang and a 4-5” copper band. From live aquaria. But I’m afraid my 4” purple tang will be a jerk to them. Will adding them at the same time help with aggression? Can I quarantine them in the same 10 gallon tank? Should I wait till I can find them pre quarantined and i am set up to temporarily trap the purple tang?
 
I would add them both at the same time, but the most important question is the size of your tank
 
If it were me, I’d get them eating in a separate tank before adding them. And yeah, how big is the tank? Under 4’ and I’d lean towards no sailfin
 
It’s a 125. 48x 27x 22 tall. And I’m all set to qt and feed gut loaded live brine shrimp.
 
I had a purple and CBB together. No issues but he was QTd and eating like a pig when added, thats they key. He can’t be shy of eating and a clam on a half shell goes a long way
