Queen angel focused reef any corals safe? Any?

[Baldwin]

I am going to be setting up a tank with a queen angel as the focal point. Is there any corals which would likely be safe, or should I say what would be the safer corals? I have a mixed reef now, however in the new tank I would not mind having only a few species which would likely be safe. Thanks for the input!

I would say SPS. How big of a tank are we talking? Queens get BIG-18".

300.

I have a 220 and my queen is about 7". Its one very beautiful fish. The only thing that it had nipped at alot are the tumpet corals and cup coral. Every queen will be diff though. Just watch him when ever you can.

what about Zoas? and Brains? Will they eat those?

 

[gnu]

He is not eating mine as of yet. I have had hime for 3 months now.

 

[Baldwin]

I think big angels usually eat bith of those

I'd love a queen. But the two I have tried, one 3" and one 4.5", both ate a little bit of everything.

I'd still love one though, so I hope my experience is not the majority.

Angels have a habit to nip fleshy corals, ex-brain, acan,etc.
