Nope, none. Seriously, you'll only end up with dead tangs if you try. Sorry, but most need at least 75g to survive suitably, and 125g or more to thrive.

Only problem with the pygmy angels is that most are borderline reef safe. Mine nips at zoanthids, and yet some people's are reef safe.

some people use the term "pygmy angel" to describe all dwarf angels but it is often used interchangeably to describe this guy (cherub angel)
the cherub and flameback are MUCH more suitable for a 29g than most popular dwarf angels (bicolor, flame, eibli ect) and many of those can get to be 4-6". the cherubs rarely reach much over 2". just make sure its the last fish because they can have tude.

For sure... just make sure you have some holes in between your rock work. The fish will swim in and out all day.

Just curious, do pygmy angels eat greens? Like romaine lettuce or nori pads?

they may sample a little but nothing like a tang. they do eat plenty of micro algae off the liverock (along with anything else they find edible: coral slime, detritus ect) which is basically all they do all day. they are omnivores but eat a good deal or micro algae. usually they are after the slime when they nip corals. rarely do they actually take a bite out the corals just keep them closed with their picking (the ones they chose to bother if any).

Yea I noticed my coral beauty pecking the rocks constantly, along with my yellow polyps and zoanthids. I didnt know if angels ate like tangs but I guess not. Thanks.
