It's expected for the tomato clown and the scopas tang to react violently toward the poweder blue tang. Tomato is considered to be one of the most agressive clown, generally speaking. Scopas is pretty aggresive toward other tangs.
It's best to use some kind of acclimation box to acclimate new fish. The box can be built out of some acrylic or egg crate. Some people even use egg crate to divide their tanks to acclimate new fish. Some people say moving the rock around work for them. Not many people can/want to move their rock around.
Good luck.
