I have a Rusty Angel in a 29g soon to go into a 70g. I have sponge, mushrooms and toadstool and it hasn't tried to eat any of it. It does chase my wrase a little bit just to show it who's boss but it never actually harms any other fish or tank inhabitants. I had a Multicolor Angel who didn't bother any fish or anything at all, not even chasing other fish and it was great. But it died of something about 3 months after having it in my 29g reef tank.
Had a Fisher's Angel but it tired to attack other fish so I had to remove it. I would personally not recommend the Fisher's Angel in a small tank with smaller fish then it self as I have seen a couple others at my LFS harass other fish too. |

ill post my experience.
Swallow tail -----safe with all corals. Bandit ----- picks on SPS polyps, good amount of damage lemonpeel ----- picks on SPS polyps, good amount of damage flameback --- picks on SPS and LPS. not much damage though. funny thing is, they all picked on my LPS at first, and then stopped ! now I have all sorts of meaty LPS in the same tank with them. when I feed over 2 times a day, they dont pick on corals. |

I have SPS, some LPS (elegance, torch, a few chalices), and nuclear green palys. All the angels nip occasionally at corals and I have very little polyp extension but I haven't seen them devour any single piece. My moorish idol did attack a red planet pretty aggressively at one point and knocked it back a lot (not sure if it was going for some adjacent algae). to be honest, my biggest problem is some of the larger fish knocking down frags which I don't find until they've been stung or died.
Currently: juvenile imperator (transitioning) 3 regals navarcus M/F bellus flame golden |

In my last tank I had a redsea Regal and an Asfur. The latter bought to help with a Majano problem. Asfur ate all the Majanos, and together they ate all the Zoas. Never bothered clams, LPs or SPS though. Wonderful fish, but in my current tank I like the Zoas more than the angels.

Nothing that the coral can't handle. Just little nips here and there.

I have a Potter's angel (6 months) it doesn't touch anything, but picks at algae on the rock and sides of the tank, doesn't go after the nori or mysid shrimp at all.
We have a Queen angel (1.5 years) It went after and killed a fist sized pineapple brain coral. It also eats polyps if they are easily at hand. Our Goldflake angel (1 year) is the most persistent nipper in the tank, it has gone after a number of corals. But seems to leave leathers alone , also doesn't bother ricordea and some mushrooms. |
