Blue angel Reef safe?

I recently picked up a very small juevenile Blue Angel for my FOWLR tank. I was planning on turning it into a reef tank along with the fish in it, but I think the Blue may have to move to a new tank. Am I right? Will the angel pick on corals and other animals I have like my hermits and brittle star? Thanks!

Yeah, they are really nasty when it comes to picking on corals. Haven't heard too much about them chewing on inverts but I have seen some major damage to corals especially leathers. They just work at it for quite some time until they eat it all.

Thanks alot! I only wished my LFS, and more importantly Myself, had not been an idiot when I bought the fish. I went to the store with the intent to pick up a flame, but my girlfriend saw the blue right next to it and wanted it so bad she kept pestering me about it. Now I am good about making sure I get fish I know I can care for and keep healthy, so I knew I would be able to take care of another angel. Unfortunately, I had done no research on the blue before I got it. (Bad Idea!) Worst of all, my LFS said the blue was also a Dwarf. (I can't believe I didn't question this, especially with the blue looking soooooooo much like the young queen angels.) Needless to say I didn't find out until I got home, but all the blame is not on the LFS. I should not have gotten the fish without reading up on it first.
Guess I'll just have to buy another tank for her since I don't want my electric scallops to get eaten, and I was just about to pick up my first coral. =(
