Reef Killers?

LionFish says......
Well I'm setting up my second reef tank in a couple months. Now it will be a 70 gallon breeder. My question is do Emperor Angels enjoy a coral snack. I have many corals and would hate to see them get eaten. I'm trying to decide between a Flame or Emperor or even a Queen Angel. Angels are awesome fish and I would love an Emperor Angel. I assume after a year or 2 I would be moving the Emperor to a larger tank. So does anyone have info on Emperor Angels.

A friend of mine got a queen angel and in 3 days it picked his live rock clean. He didnt have any corals other than shrooms...it left them alone. My Lemonpeel dwarf liked green coral..i.e. open brains and candy canes.

I have an emperor and he does not bother anything in my tank but I do not have alot of corals just pulsing xenia, yellow polyps , and a few types of mushrooms. As far as I know no angels can be considered reef safe. Emperors are known to eat alot of sponges in the wild and some flames will pick at corals and some wont. For a while my flame was taking nips from my xenia but he has been pretty good lately.
