They will usually nip at softies and Lps as well as some inverts and clams which I seem to recall you having. There are some cases of people having luck with them though. What I read is that your best off to get a mature one from someone who has a tame one already.
They are nice enough looking to risk the nipping though

I want one also but can't bring myself to chance it. I just lost a acro efflo to a citrus gobie. 15 dollar fish that has potential to take out thousands in coral

I think you should have worded your poll differently. I could vote no, and it would be accurate, but that's because I've never tried. You might get quite a few "false negatives".

I have really been tempted to try out a Majestic Angelfish in my reef once I move all the LPS out. Majestic Angelfish are about as reef-safe as Angels get provided the tank is SPS only. Of course fleshy LPS, clams, and Zoas are always first on the menu. I wouldn't put any type of Angelfish (inc the Dwarfs) in a mixed reef.

My experience with Large angels was good, but I only had a colt coral, gsp, hammer corals, frogspwan and torch corals.

I've had one in my reef for the last 3 months or so with no issues at all. Bought it off a fellow canreefer as an adult where he was in a FOWLR. I have softies, LPS and SPS. No clams but 1 acan, lots of gorgs. Haven't seen him nip at anything. I have a regal angel that nips but doesn't really hurt anything. I wouldn't say I overfeed them at all either.

it's your money

Hey Scott, weren't you the one who bought that angel that was in the old display at the old shop?

It has been a few years now...no problems...but I'm not sure I would notice if he snacked on some SPS. He is well fed.
