Not that the nipping will kill it directly but it could cause the polyps to stay closed not allowing the coral to feed. Some keep them without problems. Just the luck of the draw really. nycbob has a flame in his beautiful SPS dominant tank and has not had any major problems that he has related yet.
Of the two you have listed I would try the pygmy, I say this because I have seen some huge coral beauties that would not be happy in a 29 biocube.

Lol. Just cause it has a higher price tag does not make it more pretty. It's all opinion.
Helfrichi is so much nicer in person though. I'd just never waste the money.

Just beware that Pseudos are really territorial, and can be nasty little buggers. If you're planning on adding add'l fish, you might want to add that one last in a tank that size.
No more than 1, and it won't get along w/ similar fish like grammas, etc.
IME, Pygmys and Coral Beauties are among the more reef safe angels, but almost all angels are a risk as Spanko points out. It varies widely from one individual to another.
The CB will also outgrow the tank, and I haven't seen many that are suitable size for a 29 to start with. It's a fish that I'd also prefer to buy in person, as the coloration varies quite a bit.

Get the fish you'll enjoy the most. I would suggest the pygmy over the CB as he will get too large for a 29gal. If he happens to pick at some coral here and there, so be it. Just think of it as expensive fish food.
