I have 2 of the exact ones your talking about from this website. I will be very suprised if they give you any trouble. One of mine crawled into the watchmans burrow (and though I will admit I was uneasy about it) and all ended well. The green ones are much more aggressive and can hunt fish. I had one of those waaay back in the day and although he never attacked a fish or coral, he was a aggressive eater at feeding time and knocked rocks around and what not.
Long story short, in my experience the black serpeants they sell here are really safe and nice additions.
