maybe not what you;re looking for, but I've kept flame angels in a reef tank. many have said they'll nip at corals but i've never had any problems. super cool fish too.

six line wrasse- peaceful towards others (added to tank last though). copper band butterfly- didn't bother coral, ate aiptasia off rock as soon as I put it in the tank, ate just about any food except flakes. seahorse- ate frozen mysis right away and was able to keep alive for years. Large Lionfish- ate frozen squid (most like live food).
It was probably just luck though.

Exceptions to the norm arent all that common but they do happen. Please dont think that just because there are occasions where these fish 'behave' that they will in your setup.

I wish my blue devil damsel was a sissy.
Dwarf angels with corals have done well. (knock on wood)
six line wrasse and a neon dottyback, neither one ever bothered a thing + very friendly.
