Most are going to tell you "None of the Above" because even small angels still like to 'pick'. Some will say that if you're watchful they might be fine but I've just subscribed to the fact that I'm not going to get to have them.

Have a coral beauty and has never bothered anything, my friend has a flame and has no problems in a reef either, but I think every fish is an individual but I believe with these two you have good odds.

I have a flame and a coral beauty and have never had a problem with either one.

if u start off with a small specimen, the chance of it bothering corals and clams r less imo since they havent learned to eat those things yet from the wild. i hv a coral beauty in my fowlr, and he eats my xenia. when i got the cb though, he was much bigger. all dwarf angels will nip, but as long as they dont constantly nip at the same coral or invert, then i think its fine.

Correct. The intent of the dwarf angel is just to get at the zooxanthellae algae. Not directly consume an entire polyp, like a coral eater might.

I would get a small flame as well. FWIW a Singapore angel, isn't a dwarf

A local reefer and I have had 3 different cherub angels that never touched a coral. They are not as pretty as the coral beauty or flame but I bet you that they have more personality.

Hmm. Good to know. Do you have any clams with the cherubs? I plan to get a maxima or crocea in a few months, and I don't want it to get eaten.
Not sure if I had my maxima clam when the angel was in the tank. I wouldn't worry about it. If it begins to nip you have to make a decision on who is going to a new home.
