Yeah that is a beautiful fish, I guess when you have a tank that big you can have butterflys and angels and not worry about a few coral being munched on.

That is beautful! I think that is the first time I have really seen a schooling affect in a aquarium.

Coradion genus Butterflies actually have a diet similar to large angels, mostly of a lot of sponge-based feeding, instead of being a corallivore.
As for the Regal, probably the best large angel canidate for a reef (ignoring its less then hardy rep)..

Even in a modest system, 100-300gals either would do well on a reef, providing there's a skilled keeper to keep these very fragile fish healthy.
