I have 4 tangs in my setup (300G total) - Hippo, Yellow, Sohal and Blonde Naso... All are fine, the Sohal which is the most aggressive species out of the 4 is even fine with the others.

I think it all depends on the fish... If you do it I would suggest putting one in that is smaller than the Hippo

i have a hippo and a brown tang in my 120. they get along great except they are both scared and of my clrarkii(he's a jerk!). But i agree with global it does all depend on the fish they all have different personalities.

In my 210g reef, I have a Powder Blue, Hippo, Vlamingi, and six Yellow tangs. In general, these fish get along fine. Can't add any more PB or YTs in there though. The Vlamingi is from another member & still only 4".

In my 120g softy reef/ex-fowlr, I have a Purple, Powder Brown, Yellow, and Hippo tangs. Again, everyone gets along.

Most of these tangs have been in my tanks for 2+ years and are fat & sassy. I make sure the fish are well fed and have aquascaped to create lots of caves, tunnels, and swimming areas.
