Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. I think your tank is a bit small for 1 tang, let alone 3. That powder blue is going to end up tormenting the rest of them IME.
 
I too agree that the tank looks too small for three tangs. Usually in a big tank with different body shapes and different colors you`ll be OK but in small tanks there will just be too much aggression.
 
Yep, those Tangs really need a six foot long tank because they are so active, and they will act even more aggressive in a smaller tank.
