Potters in Reef

Anyone have any thoughts on adding a potters angelfish to a reef tank? I have some LPS/SPS & clam at the moment. I know SWF.com says they may nip at clams so I wanted to hear from everyone else since I was told they are reef safe at my LFS.
Anyone have any experience with them in reefs?

UMMM they have a tendancy to nip,,, it really jsut depends on the fish and which corals specifically you have, i know they leave zoas alone, lol. But i have seen one decimate a small reef tank.

Personally, no, I don't know. BUT, I have seen them in reef tanks plenty of times and seemed fine. You're always taking a risk with angels. I have a coral beauty who leaves my coral alone, but I know people that have had them decimate tanks. It depends on the fish.
