Rusty Angel reef safe???

[fatcat]

I'm looking for center fish for my tank that i'm setting up, i really like the potters angel but i'v read there hard to care for.
So i have found the rusty angel and i like it alot too,does anyone know if it would work in a 50gal short LPS tank??
Stock list will be 2 clarki's,1 Purpleback Pseudochromis,1 CBS and 1 cleaner shrimp..
Thanks

With dwarf angels its hard to say some will never bother coral while others will nip it constantly. I don't know that any of them will bother LPS though, I think they will only nip at softys if they do nip.

I have had my rusty in my reef for a while now but a friend had one that didnt do well in his reef so i would say its hit or miss on angels in a reef just keep an eye on it and pull it out if it nips at your coral

Would you say there a peaceful fish?

As long as you don't keep them with other angels there are normaly pretty peaceful but there is always a chance you will get one that will decide to be terror.

I had a dwarf angel in my reef, it ate the zoa's. It never bothered my mushrooms or polyps, just the zoas.
