Another rare dwarf angel that is gorgeous is the goldflake angel, which is a cross between the half black and the lemonpeel (I think). They are up there in price, however!

Hey, A Goldflake is no dwarf angle and is no way a cross between a lemonpeel and a half black! Where do you get your information? A Goldflake gets to 10 inches but might be ok in the 120 as would a Majestic to 12 inches, or a Scribbled to 10 or 12, not sure. Most of the other large angels get too big....like 16 to 18 inches.

I apologize...Must have been a brain fart, but I swear I remembered seeing a hybrid between the half-black and the lemon peel that someone referred to as the goldflake...Sorry. In looking at another site, I did find the fish that I was talking about, and it does look similar to the goldflake, however in the dwarf angel. It is a very beautiful fish that has the body style of the half-black, though along the top and bottom, instead of being black, it is yellow that fades to black at the tail, along with a blue outlined eye and blue outlines around the dorsal and anal fins.

Koran is Very Cool, but very large and very not reef safe as adults...And to whomever suggested Goldflake, very rare and expensive $300+.....I like Coral Beauty and Flame.

I personally would add a Potters Angel or a Golden Angel. To contrast the color I would add a Flagfin Angel or a Singapore Angel.

I am a fan of the hardy angels Korans, emporers, blueface, annularis, queens because they are very pretty.

As far some of the dwarf angels, they are wonderful additions to reef tanks. My coral beauty is a real "team" player in my reef tank. I have LPS, softies, and clams she has never hurt anything. She will nip occassionaly on my kenya, but never to hurt the coral.
If you are looking for a show piece angel that is reef safe I highly recommend the coral beauty, but look around, don't just get the average one, as far as coloring. It took me over 4 months to find mine. Not the average coloring. Mine has more of the yellow and orange coloring. Most of the ones I find around here are almost all dark purple.
The swallowtail angel is a reef safe fish and very pretty. The male being the prettiest. Good luck in your search.
Here is my coral beauty.

Really bad advice.

Dwarfs are pretty much hit or miss.
Anything in the Genocanthus family; Swallowtail etc, do not feed on coral at all. These would be your best bet.
