Mik_101, just throwing my own experiences out here:
When I first started, I wanted to keep fish of all sorts. Although I like to take risks with livestock (and I do, to a reasonable extent like TheReefGuy), I also try to predict what would be easiest for ME as the maintenance person of my tank.
I wanted to keep percs, tassled filefish, blue tangs, yellow watchman gobies, pipefish, seahorses, EVERYTHING. Now I only have a pair of percs, pair of bangaii and a Tomini tang in my tank - all very happy.
Now that you've determined big fish for your tank = bad, concentrate on what you can DEFINITELY keep (not controversial) and go from there. That said, I know you're young and very ambivalent with your livestock choices so just do what you want (with assured fish choices) and see how it works out.
You want a Flame Angel? Go for it. You're scared of it nibbling your corals? Don't get it. Don't burden yourself with the question of "What if?" if you're not prepared to take the plunge.
