Adding these two when combined with the existing yellot tang will likely make it a high nutrient system if it's not already.
Copperband Butterfly, & Blue Hippo.

To me it depends on how established your tank is, I've seen 75g tanks with a bioload similar to your first 11. For the sake of the animals I would consider skipping the butterfly, from what I've seen they just don't belong in a fully stocked reef. I would add the rest one at a time and test the water regularly and when the waste levels taper back down. Maybe a fish a month or every other month.

Okay, idk. Maybe you need to settle down and let your tank mature and stabilize for a bit before adding additional fish.
