"Fowlr" fish as you call it are really hit-or-miss when it comes to how reef-safe and which types of corals/inverts are safe with them.

For instance, I know a friend who had great success keeping adult Majestic Angels in both his 125g & 180g full-blown reef tanks.

Another friend added a supposedly "reef-safe" regal into her reef and it started chowing down on her LPS corals immediately.

There is no blanket statement that can be made regarding which fish can go with which corals when you're dealing with large angels and other hit-or-miss fish species but...

Typically, large non-reef-safe wrasses will kill and eat your inverts (snails & crabs). Softies tend to be safe if they're leathers or toadstools, but LPS are like candy to a lot of angels. Clams are also usually expensive snacks for angels and butterflyfish.
