The angels you have listed can start eating corals at any time. The regal is the least likely.
Copperband butterflyfish do not do well long term in captivity. If you are wanting a butterflyfish, consider a pyramid. They do well and don't eat corals.
Anthias have much different requirements than other fish. You need to feed them multiple times/day. Due to this, they add quite a bit to the bioload. I have multiple anthias in my system and have 2 automatic feeders feeding 8 times/day plus once a day frozen food.
If you have a covered tank, there are some wrasse's that would go well. If no cover, don't go with wrasse's.
If you are looking for diversity, have you considered a zebra eel? They don't eat other fish.
