I've kept a coral beauty in my mixed reef for a few years. Currently have a squammie (2 years +/-) and just added a crocea. The CB has never (yet) bothered the clams or any other tank inhabitants. As others have said, seems to be a case by case basis. I did get this centropyge from a tank break down and wasn't a nipper/picker in his tank either. Maybe you could scour the FS boards in your area and find a centropyge that doesn't pick.
Good luck.
Garrett.
