Angels in a Reef

[frink]

I've heard different things about angels not being compatible in a reef tank. Tell me what your experiences are.

Forgot to mention, but I am only interested in coral beauty and flame angels. Thanks

ive had both an i have a coral beauty in now... not long its still a new tank neither have given me problems but i HAVE heard flames nipping of corals and my beauty likes to chase my peppermint shrimps

My flame nipped at and killed 2 feather dusters and nipped at my torch coral and that was the end of the nipping. Now it is a perfect reef fish.

I voted for 2 years without a problem but actually it's been close to 4. My flame angel never bothers anything.

The flame keeps the q-tip sponges and hitch hiker dusters populations under control, but has never bothered any corals for almost 4 years now.
