Looking for new ways to fill up my 125g, all I have is a Coral Beauty, two Clowns, a Bangaii Cardinal, and a YWG, 2 peppermint shrimp, banded coral shrimp, and a trio of urchins.

Soon I will also be adding a target mandarin for a few months until I get my 4th tank running...

Mine never did and in general they aren't big coral eaters; they may nip at lps or sps skeletons to chew down their teeth but won't significantly damage much polyp and tissue. Your main issue with shrimp, they are 50/50 with shrimp and occasionally snails. Mine would play with the snails but never fully eat/kill them just flip them upside down so a crab could get them...
