Generally the answer is a conditional yes. It is an isolated answer, some turtles wont get along with each other (hey like people). You should only keep the same type of turtles together ie. Aquatic Turtles, semi aquatic, and terrestrial etc. You should always do a trial run. Its not recommended to keep opposite sexes together because the male will bite at the female a lot. Unless you are a breeder you also can guess what can happen.
If the new addition will have tank mates, it would be a good idea to quarantine the turtle for 3 months before they are introduced. A hatchling should never be added with adult turtles because of accidental or intentional injuries. Only turtles of a generally similar size with similar habitat requirements should be together in a confined enclosure.
Having the appropriate habitat and a variety of commercial and live foods will help your new addition make an easier transition. If this is a captive turtle to begin with, then the transition should be much quicker and your RES will be better adjusted. It might take a few days for a new turtle to adjust and become familiar with its surroundings. During this time, your RES might not be very active or too active, bask, or interact with you and could easily be startled. It is best to leave the turtle alone but regularly provide food and check to see your RES is not sick.

Many other predators, including snapper turtles and some birds would eat hatchlings as well.
