Angels in my reef

Ever since I can remember this hobby I have been fascinated with angel fishes, I have had many of them very successfully throughout the years, until the SPS fever hit me, at this point angels became a ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œno-noââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ in my system and I just felt like there was something missing, so I tried every single angel fish that it was remotely reef safe according to other aquarist and it was one failure after the other, they either turn to the clams, or the soft corals or even the coral polyps in my center piece yellow tort, ouch!
So far I have tried an Emperor (he ate the softies), flame (he ate the clam), blue face (he ate the spsââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s) a regal he really didnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t eat anything but proved to be too shy for my other extra bold fishes.
A few times I have promise that is it and that I will give up on the idea of having an angel, fortunately about a few months ago I decided to give it one ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œlastââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ chance and I got my self a 3ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ Majestic, Wow! This is the first time I have had this fish and I was very scare of what could happen but could not stop admiring how beautiful this fish is.
At first he was very shy and I didnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t see him for about 2 weeks when I finally saw him he had been badly beaten by one of my tangs and he had a bump on his head, bud he finally decided that he was going to stand his ground and one morning as I was having breakfast next to my dear tank I witnessed the shy Majestic go after my very large Sailfin tang and literally make him run away from his new spot, I knew at this point that he was going to make it and I shout at 7 am hoorahh!! To which my wife and 6year old daughter looked at me with a ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œare you crazyââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ look.
For the next few days and now weeks he has integrated well to the tank he is eating pellets nori and the frozen food I give them , he has finally healed his wounds and has become a real Majestic Angel that he is.
I am praying that he doesnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t turn to anything else but so far he has not giving me any indication that he is into self service food.
As soon as I can I will post pictures of Mr. Incredible, as my daughters has named him (they name all the fishes)
 
I also just bought a majestic and prayed when I put it into my reef tank. So far so good. I have read it is the safest angel to put into your reef tank.

Good luck to both of us.
