Saddleback Butterflyfish Compatibility

I have been trying to decide if one of these guys is right for my tank. They are supposed to be one of the more hardier butterfly fish. From what I read, it appears that they are stony coral eatters. What do they consider stony corals? SPS only or SPS and LPS? Plus they say inverts that inhabit LR. What would be most at risk with this guy?

- Green Bubble Coral
- Zoas
- Kenya Tree
- Finger Leather
- Mushrooms
- Riccordea
- Shunk Cleaner Shrimp
- Coral Banded Shrimp
- BL Hermits
- Turbo Snails

I was hoping to fine if people had any experience with these guys with any of the above. It almost sounds like they are talking about them eatting all inverts, but I'd like to confirm. They do seam to have a pretty big mouth and don't want to loose my inverts. With them saying stony corals, it sounds like they'd be safe with other corals. Any experience with these guys will be appreciated.

The fish I am referring to is Chaetodon ephippium and here is a photo:
