    50/50 depends on the fish from what I have read on here

    May also depend on the types of coral you have. I've had great success with pigmy angels with mushrooms and leathers, which I'd like to attribute, at least in part, to keeping them well-fed with a varied diet (which they need for long-term survival, anyway); however, others have reported them nipping at LPS corals and certain sessile inverts regardless of diet.

    Mine will nip at sps and acans but not often enough that it seems to bother either.
