The yellow and purple are both zebramosa tangs so there is a chance they won't get along. You might have better luck choosing one from each genus.

start with the tangs as small as possible, and they should probably be added at the same time, to prevent aggression. two 3"clowns may be a problem, if they're both female, so at least 1 of them should be small(er). Very rare to find a 4" flame angel.
7 fish in a 155g should be no problem. I have about 60 fish, 10 of them are tangs in my 450g...2 of them are purples and 1 is a yellow. They were added at the same time and get along great. check out the video on my tank thread.
