coral beauty and flame angel?

i currently have a radiata lion,a percula clown and a coral beauty in a 65 gallon hex aquarium, along with a cb shrimp 3 hermits and 10 snails. Everybody seems to get along pretty well. all my fish are pretty small, i have plans for a larger tank in the near future. what my question is will a flame angel be too close of a fish to the coral beauty? i hear they dont get along with similar angels, but im not sure how similar they would be. the compatability chart says with caution with dwarf angels but im talking about these 2 specifically. has anyone ever had those fish togeather?

I have.. and my flame angel ran my coral beauty out of town! similar sized, similar shaped.... forget it. It ended up stressing the CB to the point of his death, even after I moved him.

the only chance would have been if they were both added at the same time. even then it may not have worked.

Flames are great, but they nip, as mostt dawrfs do. Mine limmited its self to a algae on my blue anthilia rock, which didn't like the constant picking. hasnt bothereed much else yet.
