Are Angels - Regal, Flame, etc. compatible with Green Star Polyps?

If you find anything that reliably eats GSP, I'm sure others would like to know!

I've had a coral beauty in the past and now a flame angel, I wish they are the stuff, would save me from constantly pruning it.

What about Hammers and Frogspawn - are they compatible with Angels?

I've never had a problem with them, they pick as my gorgonians and some of my sps.

I have 3 larger angels that have never touched frogspawn or hammer corals. They will make quick work of zoas and occasionally nip at sps. Also mine will chomp on acans.

Yes and even if they eat them the stuff grows like wildfire so it won't matter

Good... so my hammers and frogspawn will be safe.

Frog spawn shouldn't be a issue, that takes a special kind of hunger... Other Lps like brains and scollys can be decimated on the other hand. All individual fish are different too.

Does anything eat green star polyps?

Butterflies? Golden, Saddleback?

Wrasses? Red Coris?

I had a dwarf angel that literally trimmed down all of my GSP in a week of introducing him to the display tank. He also loved SPS/LPS so he was rapidly removed and brought back to the LFS. He was psycho that fish....

Alright well, just want to make sure they won't hurt my GSP or hammer corals.

My Regals don't touch GSP, but they like to steal food out of giganteas. They also love to nip on favia and blastomussa, but don't kill them (yet).
