There's always a chance an angel will pick at corals, its really just a crapshoot. We had a Flame for a short time (system crash) that didnt pick and a Coral Beauty for a while (just passed away recently) that didnt bother anything. A friend of ours has a Flameback(?) that has been okay with the exception of nipping at a brittle star. IMO, go with a Beauty. They seem to be the most unlikely to pick, got great personality and awesome colors. Just an opinion, I'm sure others have had different experiences. Good luck with your deecision.

I have a coral beauty and a rusty angel and they nip at occasion but they pretty much are looking for algie, dont seem interested in the coral too much.

I added a Multicolor Angel to my tank a few weeks ago and it has yet to touch any corals. It's a deeper water fish, so it's not used to being around most corals.
Here's a link to a thread I made about it: https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...ght=multicolor

Thank you all so much for the replies. Im not sure on wich one yet but now I feel more comfortable getting one. Also did you all have your reef set before adding the angel or the other way around. I figure if hes comfortable and you add some corals he will naturally pick at it to see what is in his place. Just a thought any suggestions on what or which to put in first.
