    I have yet to find ANY angel fish that is actually/truly reef safe- if you find one- let me know. I have been looking for many years, I don't believe there is such a thing- let them get hungry or devilish in manner, and opp's there goes that clam or that coral- to risky for my tastes any more.

    I had a coral beauty that never touched any of my corals. I never had a problem with it. When it died, however, I got a Koran Angel on the advice of the LFS. Bog mistake, one for not researching the angel, and two for following the advice of the idiot at the store. Now all my corals are gone and so are all my hermits.

    Ditto this - I just had to return a Lamark's Angel because it was nipping at EVERYTHING after about 5 days in the tank. This is one of the supposedly reef safe angels. No more angels for me.
    :cry:

    My false lemonpeel angel has never touched my corals. He eats a lot of nori (what they're supposed to eat) and mysis.
