Reef Safe Dwarf Angels?

[e46mpower]

Are there any reef safe dwarf angels? I want to get an angel, but don'e want to sacrifice my corals.

at one time or another I have kept most of them and I have yet to find one that does not pick at the corals...

I am no expert and have little experience.. but everything I've read and heard says that the Flame and Coral Beauty (and others) are cautionary with reefs - its sort of a matter of luck. My flame angel didn't live long enough to know. I keep my coral beauty in my FOWLR tank.

That is just a risk you have to take. Keep in mind some are safer than others, like the coral beauty but many just are riskier like the lemonpeel angel. I had a flame in my reef and a coral beauty and they were fine, they nipped on the rare occasion but never did any real harm.

My Centropyge argi have never caused any problem and are cute as can be.

Risky as others have saidm I have kept flamebacks before only to have to remove one because it wiped out an entire zoo colony (one of my favs), the other one was a model citizen.

No gaurantees for sure, but C. argi & its relatives are considerd the safest. Also, Fisher's & whit-tails. Small size also reduces the damage potential.

I've kept C. Argis before and both times they never went after my corals. I did, however, feed them often and had lots of algae for them to graze on.
