Head over to the Large Reef Forums; there is someone there keeping a Queen in their SPS reef and has had some pretty good success, and the Queen is pretty big.

One of the more destructive species but you never know, I would think for every model citizen there are a lot more coral nippers it is pretty much their nature to sample sessile inverts.

I have one in my FOWLR. I have about 6 or 7 pieces of coral with him. 2 SPS, 3-4 favia, 3 chalices. My queen would eat anything soft leathers, zoas, hammer, etc...
From my experience my emp was much more destructive to coral than my queen but every fish is different.

Not if you want to put it in a 90 (in your sig), queens get BIIIIIG,
