I know this has been asked and answered but this goes a little deeper! So I know asking this there is no "reef safe" large angel fish! knowing that is there any angel that does "better" with LPS then the others? I know dwarf is a safer choice, just wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on this!

Although everybody is afraid of the large angels in a reef, they have never given me any problems. I have a large Emperor that grew up from a tiny, quarter-sized juvenile. It never bothers anything. I also have a Majestic that has been in the tank for 5 years. It doesn't even investigate coral. The reef has acros, LPS, zoas, mushrooms and a few soft corals.

Genicanthus spp angels (Lamarck, bellus, spotbreast, watanbae,etc) are deeper water planktivores, and are a very safe bet.

Live Aquaria actually has the Bellus listed as reef safe.
I'll probably be picking one up myself.
I've also owned a spotbreast before with zero issues.

I was thinking more like a scribble or a blue face! I know they aren't reef safe but has anyone tried it?

3 angels, emperor, asfur and majestic and they never bothered anything in the tank.

My blueface isn't interested in SPS, I've had it since it was a juvenile, about 6 inches now

Genicanthus are as reef safe as any fish. Even more so than tangs which can eat coral as they get bigger. I love them. I have Watanabei pari, Bellus pairs and a few others over the years.

I have had other reef safe specimens, but other have had problems. My best specimen was Chysurus.
