Which Angel is less likely to nip at clams

[THP]

I am still considering an Angelfish for my SPS/Clam tank and wondered what people think between a Regal Angel and a Lemon Peel Angel. Which one is less likely to bother clams?

From my understanding, the Lemonpeel Angel would not be a good choice.

+1. Lemonpeels have about the worst reputation for nipping. IME if the clam is healthy and well established and was pre-existing in the tank before the Regal,there is a good chance the Regal won't nip. But of course there is no guarantee. It seems when clams or corals are stressed they give off an olfactory signal of some kind that triggers nipping. Once fish start nipping it usually leads to the demise of the stressed clam or coral.

Ok. I've decided then that none of the angels would do as I do want to keep clams. I have settled on the PBT being the only show fish in the tank. The rest of my fish are small chromis and a six-line. Maybe I'll add other small fish later.
