Coral beauty in a reef tank?

I think this fish is beautiful... but I know being a dwarf angel they may nip at corals. What are your experiences, good or bad, with a coral beauty in a reef tank???

Each fish is different. Some nip and some don't. Even with a thousand replies you will never know. If you keep prized sps and clams I would not get one. Its a shame - because they are beautiful.

what bangkok said is correct. Theres a chance either way. Its what your willing to risk more. The fish or maybe some corals.

Mine picks on two of my Acans (I see it every now and then), but stays away from my SPS and clam. Also noticed that when I moved the Acans to the other side of the tank, I see less picking and they seem to be doing better.

I don't have a coral beauty, but I do have a pygmy and a flame angel in my reef tank. No problems so far.
