Default Kole tang and copperband?

anyone have these two fish together?

I just bought a kole tang about 3" in size to eat the algae that is overgrowing on my liverock (caulerpa prolifera). It is now in quarantine and will remain for about 5 weeks with hyposalinity quarantine. I am wondering if it will harrass my copperband and become too possessive with his piece of liverock once acclimated in my main tank?

After reading that kole tangs can become very aggressive with small algae eating fishes I am afraid that he'll consider my mandarin and copperband intruders and food competitors, because both fishes are picking on the liverock for food?

Anyone have any experience with a kole, copperband and mandarin?

My tank is 75 gallons.
