Flame Angels compatible with reef?

Hello.
Just curious, does anyone have a flame angel with a reef setup?

Thinking of buying one, but want to make sure that they won't eat my sps/lps, etc.

Thanks

It's a 50/50 chance.

One of the two angels I had to pull out of my tank was a flame. They are hit or miss. I know personally I am 0 for 2 on dwarf angels. No more for me. If you go with one I wish you luck.

Had a Coral Beauty and a Imperitor and both nipped corals.

My Flame is doing great... no corals for food... though he does feed on pods off the rocks

There has been one in my hubby's tank for over 2 yrs and it's never been a problem.

My flame is going on 5 years old now. I guess I got lucky, since I haven't caught him going after any one coral specifically.
