    Coral Beauty, like all dwarf angels, are considered reef safe with caution. Yours might not ever eat coral or shrimp, might start eating them on day one, might avoid corals for years and then change their mind.

    In other words, they are all individuals and there's only one way to find out.

    Agree with what was said above.

    If you really want one, it's a risk you take!

    I have a CB in my reef tank, & also have a flame angel in my mantis tank which has a few softied & zoas. Neither one has ever touched anything and plays quite well with all other tank occupants. Like inwall said there is always a chance that couple change.
