All the Genicanthus angels are reef safe. I have a Lamarks and a Swallowtail.
I also have a Regal Angel in my SPS tank that hasn't killed anything,,,yet.

I had a flame angel and coral beauty in the same 40G once upon a time (they actually didn't fight for more than like the first 5 minutes). Never touched any of my corals. The coral beauty would CONSTANTLY peck at the live rock though and the powerheads, not sure what it was eating....and the flame would pretty much never do that.

Yea, it's a hit or miss w/ Dwarf Angels. I have a Potters Angel in my 90g reef and sometimes Ill see him nip at my Zoas. It does not seem to hurt them cause they look fine, even the ones he does take a liking too.

I have a beautiful female Japanese Swallowtail angel in my reef tank and she hasn't touched anything. I also have a coral beauty who has a liking to my colt coral, nips at it...it retracts, but comes back out, so I'm not sure if it actually does any harm. Other than the occasional nip they are both pretty safe......at least in my tank. All angels have a potential to be holy terrors in a reef all you eat buffet atmosphere, but I have been lucky with these two.
