I don't know about Blue faces, but my angels haven't touched anything yet. All I have though are Xenia, Zoos, and Star Polyps.

Adding 2 large angels to the same tank is problematic. The same would be true with adding two dwarf angels together. They are just too similar in body styles. I was able to successfully get a dwarf and a large angel for my tank because (as I understand it), the 2 angels body styles are different enough from each other that they don't look at each other as the same type of fish. Whatever the reason, the two of them were added at the same time, and act like the best of friends.

I love angels.
