Angels in reef - Copps

Hard part is I swear they know when stuff isn't healthy before we do.

Genicanthus angels have never been a problem in my reef tanks

I have two female Lamarcks Angels in a mixed reef. I dont have the experience others do, but thus far mine have not picked at any coral.

I added an Emperor a few days ago. He took a couple of nips from the SPS, but moved on. He does annoy the clams though, so they'll need to get rehomed. Euphyllia are fine, doesn't touch those.
I did previously have one of these with clams for several years, so as stated, it's hit or miss.

I'm interested in adding a pomacanthus to my mixed reef and notice in Copps TOTM some discussion a reference to outdated thinking around keeping these fish in reef tanks and a presentation he made at 2009 MACNA "œAngelfish in Reef Aquaria". But the detail is lacking.

I wonder whether anyone is aware of whether this presentation is on line, or alternatively whether Copps as outlined his approach anywhere?

It would be great to get access to his insight.

Sorry for coming in late on this... did you end up with any angelfish? I'd love to hear... this is a topic that is tough to sum up quickly... and that's why I dedicated an entire one hour presentation to it...

I currently have a Blueface and a Majestic going through the QT and acclimation process. I wanted adult coloration, but small because I believe large ones are harder to acclimate and are probably set in their ways of feeding. I was able to find them in the 3-4" range from my LFS.
