All three of those are acanthurus tangs and without proper treatment and quarantine the odds of success are low that they won't die of ich or other parasites.

Add to the fact that the clown will definitely outgrow that tank and I might advise a different genus of tang altogether for a 4' tank.

Chevron, tomini, kole, white tail bristletooth, yellow, and purple tang would all be acceptable choices.
