They may need less swimming room, but the fact remains that they get too big for a 44gal. tank.

IMO, nearly all angels are some threat to corals. The majority of individuals of any given species may be fine, but there is still a risk. Knowing how hard it is to get fish out of an established tank, I would consider the worst case scenario before adding any fish.
The real issue again is that it is a hex tank and not rectangular. A standard 45 woould be a 3' tank, and more suitable for the dwarf angels.
But once again, having been attacked by gold striped maroon clowns in FAR larger and wider tanks, I would say that you are going to be quite limited.

Haven't ever seen one but they do exsist. Try and find a gold damsel They will be aggressive enough to hang with the GSM and they get to like 6 inches. Maybe a dom damsel as well. these fish get to 6 inches and are a solid black fish. You need to look for aggressive fish at least semi aggressive the GSM will harrass/kill anything else in that tank. The GSM will make a CB sick in that tank as well as most any other angel. These fish I have listed are cheap and very hardy. Spend your money on corals and lights if you don't already have them. Or leave this tank be and get you a 125 used or something and you can get a few bigger fish.

Shista... you can "have" anything you want. The question is: do you want to do things the right way? If so you must come to the understanding that your tank cannot handle fish that need swimming room.
