I've heard if you keep them well fed they take no interest in the corals. However, I'd imagine there is no 100% guaranty they wont start after time.
 
Bandit, gold flame, interuptus. Mainly SPS but do have clams and zoas. Had some euphylia w/o issues.
 
I currently have a 5" Emperor and a 3.5" Lemon Peal. As stated above, when the Emperor grew to around 4" he started nipping at clams, LPS, Acans, and zoas. I have also had a couple other varieties over the years. They all seem to prefer orange LPS and eventually have expensive taste :( but I really like them :)

I have an emperor in transition in my mixed reef. He will eat acans but so far that’s it. I have torch, mushrooms, acros, birds nest, stylos, leathers. Brains, Psammacora, bubbles etc.
 
I've kept flame, coral beauty, and potters Angel's in a reef and as long as they're kept full they're not an issue :)
 
I just bought my first angelfish for my reef tank last week; a coral beauty.

so far, no problems, and I’m hoping it stays that way.
 
Got lucky in the past with a majestic angel HOWEVER, thought I got lucky again with a Passer angel who after 2 weeks thought $500 of Hammer coral tasted better than the food I was feeding !!!!
Risk is an understatement
 
I have a few always.

Was thinking about getting Pyramid Butterflyfish. I already have the following:
• Mag Foxface
• yellow eye Kole Tanf
• Coral Beauty
• Flame Angel
• 2 Bimaculatus Anthias
Think I could get 2 Pyramid Butterfly fish in a 131 gallon DT @Brad Syphus
 
I have 1 Coral Beauty & 1 Flame Angel. Keep two Algae clips and filled daily and have 0.0 issues. Tank also is fed twice daily due to Bimaculatus Anthias.

Have all LPS & softy’s with 0.0 issues for about 7 months now.
 
Majestic , regal , bellus , just hammers , torches and sps . No problems . I also added fungia and some mushrooms since and they dont even look at them .. always a risk , keep them fed but always a gamble

I only trust my angels with SPS. I’ve tried twice with emperors and both times, once they are full adult... will start chomping on acros. The rest have been model citizens.

Wow! I wish I could keep all of those angels in a tank, but I've had no luck with them. They all eventually eat coral, no matter how heavy I feed (except for the Swallowtail).

Juvenile Queen Angel was a model citizen for about a year, and then one day she started gobbling zoas like they were M&Ms. Probably ate about $500 in coral before I caught and re-homed it.
 
I have kept a coral beauty and currently have a yellow tail pygmy in my reef.
Corals are
Acropora
Gorgorians
Euphylia
Gonipora
Ricordia
Have had no issues with these 2 fish with any of my corals. They can be a bit pugnacious to other fish, will see how later additions work with the yellow tail after i move. Will attach a photo of the yellow tail later.
 
I have a goldflake doing fine. definitly stay away from any dwarf angels like potters or flame angel.
 
I have:
2 flame
1 coral beauty
1 joculator
1 lemon peel
1 eibli
All in a mixed reef with no issues.
