He may or may not. Tangs tend to not get along with other fish that look like them, in body shape, size and color. Butterflies kinda look like them, so it's iffy, although they aren't known to fight.

You can try rearranging your rocks to disrupt the tang's territoriality. Hopefully the butterfly won't be bullied to the point where it can't eat or swim, but that's a possibility you need to watch for.
