Which of my Fish are Reef safe?

I've begun putting corals in my 180 after some setup changes. I removed the fish and put them in my quarantine tank before I started to setup the display for corals. The fish I have are:
1 3.5" Clown Trigger
1 1.75" Huma Trigger
1 4" Majestic Angel
1 3.5" Emperor Angel
3 Yellow Tangs
1 Purple Tang
2 Hippo Tangs
1 Power Blue Tang
1 Kole Tang
2 Butterflies
I really enjoy the triggers, but I'm wondering if they may turn into a problem. Are these guaranteed problem fish, or is it and individual thing?

the butterflies might pick on corals. the clown triiger can get aggressive when matured.

The tangs are the only ones I would call reef safe. Everything else will probably eventually eat something. As said above the clown can(most likely will) become very aggressive as it matures.
