Dwarf Angels and corals

Is it a guarantee that the angels will pick at your corals, clams, and inverts ?!?!? I was thinking about possibly getting one for my tank, but definitely not going to get one if it is going to destroy the rest of the stuff in my tank.....

From what most people say it seems to be hit or miss. I've had a flame angel in my reef for over a year and he has never caused any problems.

I've had a Centropyge argi for nearly a year... done no harm yet.
Probably the best fit for a tank your size.

They are unpredictable. If you have one and not bothering your corals then you are lucky.

Mine are fine with the acros, not so good with the LPS. Especially open brains, candy canes, anything fleshy.

My golden dwarf doesn't touch anything (lps, soft, clams) other than the rocks and Rod's Food, but I don't keep sps.

Yeah, I have some candy canes, hammers, frogspawn, and a small clam... seems like those are a few of the things that angels love the most.

Oh Well.

Ya, I'd pass I had a flame in my reef he would pick at my lps especially candy canes and blastos, and he would bite my clams mantle as well..

I'd pass personally... i wont get another unless I KNOW that it doesnt pick.. but I've heard that some dont, and then 6 months to a year later they'll start..

I have a Flame Angel for a year now and no problems yet... However he has been eyeballing the euphyllia and trach. Hope he doesn't turn to the darkside.
