we have a good sized one in our reef. about 2-3 inches . seems to leave well enough alone. we also have a pigmy angel who is cool to. i also think that the potters angel is a great for the reef setup.

All of the dwarf angels are considered reef safe...but any of them can develop a taste for corals. They are hit or miss in that regard. I kept a coral beauty with numerous corals with no problems and many hobbyists have kept flames with success. It is a risk to consider.

I guess sometimes its base on the attitude of the fish and their personality so if you get lucky some the non-reef safe fish won't eat the corals.
