Think he would try to kick around an XL yellow tang?  I would come up and grab him, but the 2 likely will not get along being so similar.

is the yellow well established in your tank?
The new fish by 'rule of thumb' is the one who is passive. So I would say OK. But that depends on how well your tank is established. And how big is tank

It's a 125 gallon.  The system is very well established. It's had quite a bit of coral in it for a while now and loaded with copepods.  All the fish went through Hypo for 10 weeks, plus 2 weeks of observation.  They have been in the same tank for 3 weeks now.  I have a pair of clowns, a niger trigger, naso tang, yellow tang, and a flame angel.  The tang is pretty chill, but in QT he was with 2 other yellows and had to be separated due to bullying them. I chose to keep only 1 yellow for that reason and He doesn't mess with the other fish.

No worries.  I would fear he would kick my yellow tangs rear or vice versa.  The scopus was a tough guy and so is my yellow, chances of them scrapping would have been great.  I wouldn't want that to happen and I know you wouldn't either.
