I had a flame for about four years until I broke my last tank down and sold all the fish. He would nip at acans but never bothered any sps or clams.
 
Sounds like a crap shoot for a perfect personality. For people that have them, if they are model citizens or the devil of the tank... When you bought them how was their behavior in the lfs? Hyper, calm, hovering etc.
 
It's a toss up, some take years others nip right away. Once the start, it's time to decide whether the coral or fish is more important.
