    I don't think you'll see much aggression among those fish. If the yellow tang is in there first it will try to go after the foxface... but it will learn rather quickly not to bother the fox. foxface can hold it's own by simply turning it's back toward other fish and extending it's spines.
    But to reduce chances of fighting I would put the Yellow tang in last.
    Do you have or plan to have any LPS? Foxface will eat many types of LPS corals. It grows super fast and if not fed a lot it will nip.

    This but I think any trigger should be added last. Anything added after they are they will generally bully to death. Also are you sure you don't want any other smaller fish? How big is your tank?
