Exactly what type of angels are you inquiring about?

large angels
Deep Water swallow tail angels
Pigmy Angels.

Each one is different and will have different requirments/ demanor. Most large angels are kept in FOWLR as they generally eat LPS and SPS corals. Most Pigmy and Swallow Tail Angels are reef safe.

I've kept a Coral beauty Pigmy Angel, pair of Wantanabi Swallow tail Angels and a Bellus swallow tail angel in my 400G reef. In there with them are a pair of Naso's, Blue Hippo, Sailfin, and a Vlamingi tang, pink tail trigger, various wrasses, copper banded butterfly, blue damsel, and a marron clown. I have not had any problems with them in the tank with either the fish or corals. I have a fully mixed reef with a little of everything in there. Hope that helps some.
