I had an 8" queen in a 300 sparse reef about 2 years ago. When I put him in I was getting out of coral and wanted to move to FOWLR anyway. I was hopping I would be able to keep a few easy corals but I was wrong. He ate absolutely every soft coral within a month. Zoas were completely gone within 3 days. Polys, kenya tree, and xenia were gradually picked at until they all died or were eaten. I got rid of my chalice and any other soft coral I didn't want to see him eat. I did notice a few broken tips on a green slimer I had in there but nothing really serious. If it is only SPS you might get away with it if you are willing to accept that your queen may take a liking to certain colonies, or break a few branches every once in a while. A thriving queen angel is large, active, eats a ton, and likes to pick at just about anything in the tank. If your tank is smaller than 8' x 30" wide I would pick a smaller fish.
