Can all these fish get along with eachother????

Im planning on getting a 300 litre about 80 gallons? with these fish:

1 Blue tang: maybe getting.

2 percula clowns: definantly getting.

1 copper banded butterfly: maybe getting.

1 yellow tang: maybe getting.

will all these fish get along and would i need any other fish with these ones? thanks.
 
The only thing to note with your fish list is a couple of points about the copperband..

1) he will more than likely nip at some soft corals..
2) Could be aggressive towards fish the same as him
3) Needs very good water conditions and should not really be put into a new tank..Needs steady and good readings in Ammonia, nitrites and nitrates as they are sensitive.

IMO, the tank is too small for two tangs as there is not enough room for each to establish a territory that doesn't overlap the other's.
In my experience, Copperbands are only problematic in that they are a very timid fish, and, with more aggressive fish in the tank it's hard to get them to eat.
I succeeded by using a quarantine tank to feed him on his own, leaving him there for several months and getting him to eat different foods.
When I placed him in his tank, I removed all the existing fish to the quarantine tank and left the 'band alone in his new system for a couple of months before adding the remaining fish back. Even so, he still shows the "intimidation" traits, but gets enough now to survive.
I have never had a problem with mine nipping any corals, clams, or inverts.
As for the clowns, you may have a problem with just two in the tank unless they are a mated pair. Best to go one or three or more, even though they are about the most docile of the clowns that I have kept.
 
Yes im getting 2 percula clowns i orded them and they are a pair and i might have a quarantine tank also which i am switching and have 2 percula clowns in a 30 gallon (95 litres) so thats going to be my quarantine tank.....
