    Most angels are known for eating coral.

    I definitely agree that you need some tangs for the activity they bring to a tank. I also think every reef tank needs a clown or two. Engineer gobys sound like a very interesting fish. I also like a watchmen goby pistol shrimp combo.

    You should look into a foxface or sribbled rabbit fish. They get along with just about anything and eat algae like crazy.

    You should also get a small school of chromis. Maybe five.

    yea just watch what kind of corals you put in you tank or else that will be a very expensive snack for your angels...they like zoas,acans, slimy stuff....hards corals are most likely safe...just think about that....and watchmen gobys with a pistal shrimp are sweet i have one of each and they are awesome...foxface is good for algae removal very cool fish also
