Thanks! I've had the bellus angels for about a year now, the regal for about 6 months, and the bandit was the newest addition at 2 months.

The bellus angels left all of my corals alone.

My regal ate all of my zoas (left the palys alone), killed a small clam, and nipped at my sps corals enough where I lost all of my polyp extension, but did not have any deaths as a result.

My bandit ate whatever zoas were left and will nip at my sps as well (again, not enough to cause any permanent damage).

The fish that nips at my corals the most though, is my tinkeri butterfly hybrid.

Interestingly enough, polyp extension just started coming back a couple of weeks ago. Guess the corals just got used to the nipping!
