Large angels

[Jason05]

I recently had my large 3 yr old regal tang jump out of my tank while I was at work and looking to replace the void. I've always liked angels and have a few dwarfs but looking at a queen angel. I've been told they are a little higher risk than tangs on nipping corals and wondering if anyone has any good experiences with them. I've been told it's basically 60/40 they will eat corals if you get them young

Queen angels are known to outright eat corals.
With dwarf angels it's generally more the constant harrassment than actual eating.
My personal recommendation would be a Regal Angel. Most of the ones I had and have never did damage to SPS (though they will pick on diseased or dying colonies, likely going after the large numbers of pods and other critters that feed on the coral.) LPS and zoas are a different story and kind of hit and miss.
Ideally you get a tiny juvenile, basically just weaned off the plankton, that has not yet adopted any bad habits.

I have 3 angels in my tank. Goldflake. Banded. And interuptus. None of them have bothered any corals.

I had Queen Angel of course in FOWL. They are know to eat corals. I do have a Emperor Angel for 7 years, got him since a juvy. Totally reef safe in my case
