I keep a volitan lionfish and snowflake moray with all types of coral. Sometimes my eel smacks into things and breaks them but other than that I dont have any problems with them. The purple tang on the other hand loves to pick at some of my LPS like open brains and acans.

We've got a blue spot puffer in our RSM, and one of the first things he started poking at was my beautiful red open brain coral. So, after we moved that to our 180g we noticed our zoas in the RSM were not doing well. Coincidence? I don't think so. (Those are now moved as well.) But we do have frogspawn and hammer coral, as well as colt coral and a beautiful yellow toadstool in there that he isn't bothering with. So far so good.

your question really depends on which predators you were thinking of getting. triggers and eels for example don't eat corals. Angelfish do though. also depends on your tank (whether or not it's big enough to even house big predators)
