Anyone kept one of these, scott michael's butterfly and angelfish book says they are zooplankton feeders, any chance of them leaving corals alone?

I don't recall seeing them often for sale, but wwm lists them as common in hawaii
 
i have kept them before in a tank with a few palythoa colonies. they never harmed the palys but i wouldnt risk them with corals i valued highly. even though they are plankton feeders they pecked at the rocks constantly and would probobly do the same to corals. awsome fish though, 4 of them in my old tank swimming together was a sight.
