I think this was a topic here awhile back but can't find it now. I started experimenting with Emperor Angles in reef aquariums about 7 years ago. Like most angels their behavior is not set in stone. They are definitely more of a risk than some pygmy angles that I wouldn't think twice about using. What has worked for me is purchasing a juvenile and feeding well. I currently have two, one about 7 years and the other about 1 year. Both are in soft coral tanks with clams. Neither touch anything. Some of the others I have tried liked brain corals and some LPS but none have touched SPS. I love them.
