Reef safe Angels

[sean A.]

Are any of the large Angels Reef safe? I have a 240 and would love to have
a large Angel in it.

You are not going to get any straight answers. All angels are a gamble some work some don't. But I think their beauty are worth the risk.

I currently have a Emperor & Majestic Angel in the tank now. The Majestic isn't
gonna work out tho. The Emperor is doing ok so far. Just wanted to know if there
were any that are Reef safe.

From what I read keeping them well fed is essential ingredient to having one that is well behaved. I too want that reef safe Emperor!

Genicanthus are the safest. All others can nip, but the harmfulness of nipping can be from none to 100% eating of the coral. However, most are found to be safe:

What type of corals do you plan to keep? Pygoplites diacanthus seems to only like Zoanthids for the most part.
