Most Centropyge are advertised as being reef safe. However, in my personal experience, all of the ones I have owned (bicolor, FLAMES, potters, coral beauties) have picked at one coral or another in my reef tank. It is usually one coral, they don't eat it but they swim by and nip at it to the point that it will not extend and I usually end up removing the fish.
My Flame picked at my open brain and button polyps.
It is best, stresswise, to get a medium sized fish. The extremely small and large fish do not ship well and have a harder time adapting once moved (my experience).
