If I don't feed mine well, consistently, he will nip SPS. He also annihilated my xenia (but thats OK!). Its a concern but manageable.

how large are your Blueface?
What's the Angel's feeding schedule?
This is not a common species to see in a reef aquarium.
Pics are great but it would also be nice to get some background info on your Pomacanthus xanthometopon
 
I have kept angles in my sps tank. Cannot keep any zoos, lps, or clams. But my regals. Emperor and bandit never really bothered the sps. Unless they sps started to run or stn. Then they would eat the dying tissue.

Blueface is about 5"
Mysis/plankton/homemade seafood mix 2Xday, nori every other day
SPS-only system, no nipping so far, polyp extension is great.

Absolutely beautiful! I use to have an adult Passer Angel in my previous 72" 150 gallon tank. It never bothered any corals or clams, but eventually the tank was too small and it started picking on every other fish in the tank so I gave it to someone with a larger fish only predator tank.

Larger angelfish are by far my favorite fish. I hope this one proves to be a good, long term resident that behaves for you. It's a beauty!
