If a dwarf angle is going to pick on corals it will most likely be open brains, scolys and similar. Most I've seen will always pick on these corals but leave others alone. I've got a potters and a lemon peel and they'll eat most lps corals.
Definitely hit or miss though, but I think the target is fairly small :wink:

I my Bellus angel nip at my clam, plate coral. Emperor Button Polyps, sponges. MY 2'' Majestic sponge only at the moment. and my Regal same case as Marie eating everything(he finished my 5" kenya tree in 3 months) but anyways they are my fav fish so I think its worth it after all!! :biggrin:

My coral beauty has yet to touch anything in my tank and he's been there for 6 months now.

I agree it is the luck of the draw. My worst sps nipper is my 4.5 year old yellow tang, it makes all my angels look like.... well ....."angels":wink:

I have a bicolor dwarf angel & he is a real trouble maker, I swear he waits until you turn your back & then he is into everything . He peeks out from behind a rock & watchs you , then when the coast is clear it's hit and run on whatever is close by- fish , coral , crab , turbo snail , blenny.
