SPS Tank

[thedonathon]

Hello everyone!!
I want to thank everyone in advance for any advice that I receive. I am completely new to the marine hobby after years of freshwater tanks, and I've just come across a 120G wide tank and I've decided to go with a marine setup. I know a few guys that can help me set the tank up so I don't need advice on that, my questions have more to do with keeping peace in the tank. First from reading and research, if I want to have any type angel in my reef I should go with those of the genus Geniacanthus, does anyone have any experience with these and will they be likely to eat my sps coral? Secondly, I would like to get some Two spot gobies along with a tail spot blenny, but I've read about bottom dwelling fish not getting along, so do you think that these fish will get along or does anyone else have any suggestions? Lastly are there any species of crab, besides hermits that won't attack my fish? As I've already stated thanks for any advice!

Go slow. Gotta walk before you run.
It's never guaranteed that an angel will not nip coral. It's usually a 50/50 chance.
Concentrate on clean, well balanced water with a lot of flow. Consider a closed loop system with a sump system. One up your skimmer and use macroalgae and a phosphate reactor to keep your water clean.
Fish usually come second to a SPS tank. Many people who are truly into SPS want to keep it regional specific with fish from that area. Typically, damsels are often found in SPS reefs and gobies/blennies are typically found in sandy flats.
Research, read. Watch some real ocean videos and get some ideas.
