Mine don't seem to be bothered by my mantis but he is rather small and has only been in there a couple of days.
From what I've read (i.e. if anyone else has experience to the contrary then go with them) mantis are fine with most corals they can't drag around to block their burrow entrances with.

Mantis don't directly bother corals at all (other than moving the rocks around).
The problem that I have had, however, is with my more active mantis. they move around a lot, and when they 'run over' mushrooms,polyps etc...(softies), the corals close up and seem a bit traumatized. Again, this is just a problem with soft corals, but I figured that I'd mention it.
