QUEEN ANGELS,
A friend of mine has a 120g Reef and holds 4 Queen angels. he said he's never had a problem with them. all 4 were intoduced to the tank as babies and all at the same time.

I had a Cherb Angel in my tank for 1 year. Then one day it woke up and decided that Flake, pellet and live food wern't very tasty anymore. He started eating Green Star polyps, Toadstool polyps, Zoos and well you get my point...
I love em but won't keep them in my reefs any more... If I had to, I would get a flame...
Good Luck |

Flame is also what I thought, but I don't think I need the worries.

I have a baby lamarki's angel in my reef. It is a member of the Genicanthus sp (?spelling), and this species of angel is totally reef safe. Not quite as stunning in appearance as other angels, but still pretty and with personality.

I've had a bi-color in my tank for about 3 years. I have seen him nip the xenia, but never actively eat it.

Much depends on the individual. I've seen some of the Centropyge species be model citizens, and others devour coral with gusto.
Angels, in particular, the larger ones, have some amazing "personality". I've had a juvenile Koran hanging around for a while, he might just have to go into the big tank
