Most full size angels will but swallowtail angels and most dwarf are reef safe.

Most large angels will. Try dwarf angels, like coral beauties, flame angels. I have owned them and never had a problem. That's not say that they will not. It can be a hit or miss. Good luck.

If you really want a Medium sized angel get a Swallowtail angel. I have one in my reef right now and he has been awesome.

I've had both a Coral Beauty and a Pygmy Cherub angel in a reef setup, didn't have problems with either.

I had a Koran. Even though I bought him very small, my corals were never the same. I had him for nearly 2 years. The day after I took him out, I saw corals open up that I had not seen active since I put him in there.It is really a crap shoot. I really like angels but if I were to do it again I would have to do alot of research and ask alot of questions as to which ones I could use. I heard from a member on RC that if you raised them from real small that they would become acustomed to being in a reef. Maybe for that gentleman but not me. I love my reef and there is not a fish alive that I would TRY something just on a whim like that again. There are so many cool fish that definately ARE reef safe. Why chance it? If fish is your thing then do a fish tank. If reef is your thing then do fish that DO and ARE belonging to a reef. HTH, Vinny.
