Are there any corals that are safe in an aggressive setup. I have always had community tanks with corals but I am setting up a new tank and was thinking maybe its possible to pull of???

Not quite, it really depends on the fish thats in the tank. Triggers and puffers that I have observed are always biting rocks, an acropora is just another rock to them. I have a friend who has a huma huma and his LR in the tank has become alot smaller now from constant chewing.
Any other aggresive fish would be fine with corals IMO. Some examples are lions, eels, and groupers (I know im missing a few others). Although good filtration would be needed they are hard on the bioload.
