Large angels in a reef. Your thoughts?
I'm always surprised to see how many people have larger angels in their reefs. I always had the thought that they were risky in a reef due to munching on things we'd otherwise pay good money to keep? SPS, clams .. LPS. ? Is that true or is it more of a case where they eat sponges, and whatever you feed them, and they leave the rest alone?
So.. I'm curious. If you have an angel (or angels) in your reef (excluding the Centropyge sp. pygmies that is), is there anything you've found that you can't keep in your reef as a result of having the angel(s)?

I have a regal angel that eats everything softies, lps, zoos, sps.
The only things I have found that can tolerate being munched on are sps

I have 3 angels in each of my display tanks. The largest in each of my tanks are Majestic Angels of between 4 - 5". I find that they all pick at things in the tank with the smaller angels doing the most continuous picking. Angels are very inquisitive and will immediately go over and pick at anything new put into their tank. My tanks are completely over grown with GPS, Xenia, Anthelia, Kenya Tree and Zoo's and if they are in fact eating any of the corals it is impossible to tell. Some of my friends that have had problems with angels in their reef tanks have had problems with the angels going after the more meaty Brain Corals.

The corals that seem the most tempting to angels are brain-type and sometimes Euphyllias. My Majestic & other angels seemed to nip at the puffy brain corals a lot.
