Butterfly fish and reefs

I have been wanting to add either a copperband, longnose, or pyramid butterfly to my tank but am hesitating a little. I have a zoa dominant tank with a few sps. I have seen these butterflies in full blown reefs. Are their certain types of corals that these guys might like to nip on or are more on the safe side?
 
Pyramid is considered the safest and probably your best bet. CBB and Longnose will usually only pick at clams and aiptasia; but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't also pick at your zoas.
