Is this fish reef safe?

Not reef safe, especially with palys and zoas, duncans and anything of the like.

Bummer. What large angels are reef safe?

The only ones that are truly considered reef safe are the angels of the Genicanthus species. And IMO, they don't really have that "angelfish look". Take a look at Tangs Rule's tank, I know he's got an angel in his 400G+ reef right now.
I know the Regals can be reef safe, but it's a risk and I have seen blue girdled in reefs, but they were so stocked that I don't think you'd even notice if they nipped a coral here and there.
