I'd like one but I'm mostly worried about them walking all over my corals. Do they have much of a sting to damage corals?

The BTA's I have live right by a few of my zinnias. They run into each other all day and never have a problem with each other. Not to say a BTA will not hurt a coral, but this is what I have seen in my tank.
 
My BTA stays away from coral and if it does get close it doesnt harm it. BTA seem easy cause they find a rock and stay. Condys on the other hand like to move A LOT! I know they are looking for a perfect spot but i have had some that last 4 months in 1 spot then decide to move and power heads can be a downfall with Anemones. Id suggest covering them or getting hydor korilas cause i havent had any problems after switching to them.

.

I have had issues with them and SPS in the past. Along with them being rock dwelling is the reasons I won't keep them in an SPS tank again.
 
My hadoni carpet nem got my halloween urchin a few weeks ago. It swallowed it whole and regurgitated just the shell.
 
They have eaten fish, but that has never happened to me in my years of keeping then
