Thoughts on a Potters Angel

I know there is a possibility these guys will nip at corals but if well fed would there still be a possibility ? Would it be worth rolling the dice ? I had one years ago but in a FO tank
 
We (they) put an angel in the FV softie tank, and they didn't have any more zoas after 2 weeks. No experience with a coral eating angel on lps/sps, but I would believe what you read on coral eating.

Edit; I looked them up and they are a pygmy angel, again, no experience with it directly, but I have a coral beauty which seems to not nip at corals if well fed. It does look more like a flame angel, which is known to be more nippy at corals.

It's up to the individual fish. I had a huge flame angel that didn't touch anything. I had a coral beauty that ate EVERYTHING. I watched that fish flat out strip the flesh from tips of sps and take big bites out of my maxima clam. It took me 3 hours to catch that fish with a net.
