I was just trying to get an idea of some Angels that are kept in reef tanks with success? I have leather corals and I would like to add some type of angel. Please share your experiences.
Thanks

Dwarf angels generally are the best for reef tanks like the Coral Beauty & Flame angel. There are some reports that they will still bother certain corals though.

Lamarcks Angel, Black Spot and Wantanabe's Angels have been keep with success in a reef. Other dwarf angels have been kept in a reef as well, but I wouldnt recommend them as each fish is different. You may get lucky with one and then after a year or so wake up to find some of your corals eaten.

Other than the angels listed by Raven, you could try the smaller pygmy angels like the cherub or flameback. These fish are still capable of nibbling on your corals, but possibly less than a flame angel or coral beauty would. Maybe if you keep the angel fed well, like 3 times a day, the chances of the corals getting eating would probably be less, but still, it is always a risk.
