I've only had experience with Yellow tangs and CBBs, but mine was particularly ugly to the two CBB I have had over the years.
My CBBs never had any wounds but the YT would chase them any time they left a particular corner of the tank. The
CBBs never tried to square up and flash their dorsal fins ( But would when ever my Kole Tang tried to chase them strangely) Fortunately I had healthy CBBs that seemed to tolerarte the stress from the YT.
If you have a big enough tank so the CBB can get away from the Tang and get a healthy specimen that etas frozen you should be OK. I would strongly recommend an acclimation box for the first week or two so that the CBB can get adjusted to the display without being chased.
