wondering what corals dwarf angels tend to pick on ? is it kindave anything, or softies,lps,sps,clams? what are they known for. my fiance wants a coral beauty or possibly a flame angel to add into my tank which is just getting turned into the reef ive always wanted haha. im going to have clams, plenty of SPS and LPS and a few softies. just want to know if its even possible without a huge risk of losing any of my corals.

It tends to be hit or miss with each one. I have a bi-color in one of my reefs, never touched anything, then one day it wiped out a whole colony of blue snowflake polyps.

i have a flame angel with a few acros a leather a few lps and zoas and she hasnt touched anything
 
I have had several types of Angels over time together (Flame, bicolor, lemonpeel, etc) and have had good luck, never attacked any corals.
It will be a crap shoot though, Angels can be reef safe or not, you will never know until you try, and if they are safe they may not be over time.

I had a half black dwarf angel that picked at my coco worm all day long, and also went after zoos, and other polyps. Had to take him to the store
