My Oriole Angel keeps picking at my LTA. Is this common, they say the angel is reef safe but he stays next to my anemone all day at takes little nips at him, is he stealing food? Please help

I don't know who "they" is, but "they" is wrong.
Sometimes pygmy angels never nip coral but it's not really reef safe.

I don't see where they say "reef safe". IMO it's 50/50. many will find a coral they like and nip it a few times a day. Usually this is an SPS but It could be an Anemone.
Can you point me to the "Reef Safe" designation? I'm somehow missing it.

Ahhh finally caught it (brain fart). IMO that's not accurate. It's a gamble. I've gambled with my Flame & Coral Beauty and won (so far). There's no guarantee though.

i used to have a coral beauty angel fish (traded him for a bi color blenny) he ate the arms off my brittle starfish. the starfish is still alive i see him at night sometimes walking on his itty bitty arms that are only a quarter of an inch long. bad angel fish

i have a coral beauty in with my LTA and coral along with inverts. He doesn't do anything to my LTA. He just picks algae off the rock.
