I have a 37g reef tank stocked with:
1 valentini puffer
2 ocellaris clowns
1 snowball urchin
5 red leg hermits
1 emerald crab
1 porcelain crab
1 cleaner shrimp
Corals:
4 brain corals
1 torch coral
5 purple ricordea mushrooms
5 green ricordea mushrooms
1 tally zoanthid
1 green/purple zoanthid
I had a lemon peel angel but he destroyed all my corals so the brains are still recovering.
Thanks
 
But to answer your question it depends on the specific fish. For instance I have a coral beauty and flame angel(different tanks). I have never had an issue with them. Some people have had these two species decimate corals like zoanthids.
 
First off, I can't think of any that would be suitable in a 37g tank...... I'm fairly sure even most of the dwarf angels have a minimum of 50 to 70 gallons. And, I think pretty much all angels are prone to coral nipping, especially LPS.

EDIT:
Here's LA's list of Dwarf Angels:

And the only one I see with a tank size less than 55 is the Heraldi, but it's still an LPS nipper
