We did allot of research on this subject, on this board and others.
We have had ours for about a 2 weeks and they get along fine.
What we learned about having multiple angels is that sucess depends on 2 main factors;
1. Size of the tank. We have ours in a 250 gallon, lots of room for them to go their own ways
2. Order of introduction into the tank. We introduced both at the same time so there wasn't any established "pecking" order.
Good Luck!

im really starting to believe this "law" of one angel to a tank is really a one to one basis. I have several friends who have numerous angles in their tanks. One has a blue ring and a french in a 220 . the other guy has about three pygmies in a 180g

Like ktsdad said, bigger ones aren't but it's luck of the draw with dwarf angels. It all depends on their personality.

We have been doing research on larger reef safe fish, we didn't buy a 250 gallon tank to have a bunch of dwarfs and I really don't want any Ich Magnets - I mean any tangs.
We have found one large angelfish that is listed as reef safe and non-aggresive toward most other fish. The Swallow Tail Angel, aka Blackspot Angelfish (Genicanthus melanospilos).
According to the Pocket Expert Guide for Marine Fish (Scott W Michael), it poses no threat to stony or soft corals.
