From my experience, I have in a 220 the following: Cherub, Flame, and Coral Beauty over 2 years.
GSP, Xenia, Palys, mushrooms, Mag anemone, Monti caps, 2 kinds of encrusting and 2 branching Monti, M. spongodes, Porites.
Nothing has been touched their entire stay; all introduced at the same time. They could eat it all and I would not care though.

I've got one and he use to nip at corals more than he does now. As a matter of fact he loved Pocillipora so much that I'd buy them just to let him have something to eat instead of my other corals. But no, he even stopped eating them. He's constantly swimming around the tank and is what I call my "terrorist" 
He really likes to harass my McCosker's wrasse more than an other fish in the tank. I just got a Yellow Candy Hog Fish last week and they're best friends. Like I said he does harass the other fish but not in a bad kind of way. Some of my fish he completely leaves alone. I think if I had put him in last he wouldn't be doing the harassing that he does.
For the most part he leaves all of my coral alone now, that he's gotten passed eating the pocillopora and he's not nipping on any of my acans or Euphyllia's. I've got a few mushrooms and a couple of leathers and he leaves them completely alone. My tank is mostly acans and Euphyllia and I've got 3 BTA's, he leaves them alone now. So he only was nipping at different corals I guess to see what they taste like since Cherubs are grazers. From all that I've read and heard from others that have or currently own them they all say pretty much the same thing. It's rare to get one that is a coral eater.

Is he swimming like crazy in circles?
In my experience they will go crazy sooner or later when kept alone. They do definitely better when kept in a pair or group, less aggressive too.

I have had 2 cherub angels over the years (not at the same time). The first for a year and a half the second one for 7.5 years. Neither bothered my corals. Neither causedany problems with other fish either. The second one really liked to swim through the smaller openings between the LR. He and my Coral Banded Shrimp would posture at each other, but it was all show.
